Well now take down your fishin' ___/ And meet me at the fishin' hole

What a great place to rest your ___/ And mighty fine for skippin' stones

You'll feel fresh as a ____/ A-sittin' in the shade

Whether it's hot/ Whether it's cool/ Oh what a spot/ For ____ like a fool

What a fine day to take a stroll/ And ____ by the fishin' hole

I can't think of a better way/ To pass the _____

We'll have no ___ to call the roll/ When we get to the fishin' hole

There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey/ To do the ___ away

If we don't hook a ___ or bass/ We'll cool our toes in dewy grass

Or else pull up a weed to chaw/ And maybe set and ___
-
Hangin' around/ Takin' our ease/ Watchin' that hound/ A-scratchin' at his ___

Come on, take down your fishin' pole/ And ___ me at the fishin' hole

I can't ___ of a better way/ To pass the time o' day

10/14 Don't hear the words very often.
14/14. My parents had the vinyl record of the songs from the show. I remember them playing it and I loved that song. I still do. And I now have that same record from 60 years ago and would never part with it.
11/14 - figuring out the rhymes helped for some
11/11 I guessed on some of them. No way I knew them all.
since they rhymed w/something in the other part of the line, it seemed easier. I think I still had 2 wrong.
12/14.

11 of 14. Didn't know the song had words to it. I usually do very well on the show quizzes.
Lots of series had unknown lyrics, Bewitched, Star Trek (awful lyrics composed by Gene Roddenberry reportedly so he could share the credit with Alexander Courage and receive royalties). The Odd Couple also had horrible lyrics apparently written for the 1968 movie (the song Is featured on the movie soundtrack) but thankfully not used in the movie or series. Of course the M*A*S*H lyrics can be heard in that movie.
12/14. Die hard Andy Griffith fan
wow! honestly i didnt even know words were to the song...lol
