Lyrics
PLENTY OF FISH IN THE SEA
There are plenty of fish in the sea just a waitin' for little ole' me.
There are plenty of men in my book so right now I'll just take a look.
I will find what I'm lookin' for whether here or right out my front door
I don't need him to take me on a date, I will find a much more charming mate.
There are plenty of men in hre book - in her book.
And for Jim, she won't have to cook - have to cook.
There are plenty of fish, let us cook you one more dish.
There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Sailing, sailing, over the sea of men. There are plenty of fish in the sea. By George, she's got it! No wide mouth bass!
Holy mackerel that shark's got no class!
I'll take that one for the sheer hal - i - but! Oh, yeah!
I will find what I'm looking for - whether it's here or in Singapore!
I don't need him in my life, all he brings to me is strife!
There are plenty of fish - there are plenty of fish!
I would like another dish - she would like another dish!
There are plenty of fish in the sea! Take that you cod!
