Here are the words;
"Well now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at the fishin'hole
We may not get a bite all day,but don't you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool, oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by the fishin' hole.
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o'day.
We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to the fishin' hole.
There'll be you, me, and Old dog Trey to doodle time away.
If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in the dewey grass,
or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.
Hangin' around, takin'our ease, watchin' that dog scratchin' at his fleas.
Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at the fishin' hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o'day

There now you know the words to Andy Griffiths theme song, "The Fishin'Hole"

Well, that was almost as bad as the lyrics to the Bonanza and Star Trek themes.

There seems to be a rule of sorts for these great melodies to be paired with such wretched lyrics.

In my opinion, of course.

''The Andy Griffith Show'' theme song's secret weapon was its simplicity (https://www.metv.com/stories/the-andy-griffith-show-theme-songs-secret-weapon-was-its-simplicity)

The tune we love to whistle.
