00:04We're down and bought a lump of bait, where the wild wind blow
00:11Played my gig, felt the rhythm flow
00:16Sailing out with mates, the deer was set
00:22A fishing trip planned, oh, I won't forget
00:30Crocodiles lurking on Groot Island shore
00:35With big jaws and tails, always looking for more
00:40Oh, by the Lumber Bay, where the tides collide
00:44Caught a boat full of fish, yeah, we took it in stride
00:47Rock caught in barramundi, what a catch to date
00:50Fishing is alive in this Aussie Bay
00:59We pushed through the mud, when the tide rolled out
01:04Up to my knees, that's what it's about
01:11Scanning the banks, kept my eyes peeled wide
01:17Hoping that a croc wouldn't take a ride
01:24We braved the bay and found deeper seas
01:30That lighthouse stood bright, calling us with ease
01:35Oh, by the Lumber Bay, where the tides collide
01:39Caught a boat full of fish, yeah, we took it in stride
01:42Rock caught in barramundi, what a catch to date
01:45Fishing is alive in this Aussie Bay
01:54Coral trout were biting, we were feeling fine
01:59Until the sharks showed up, oh, they crossed the line
02:05Ran out a wire trace, grabbed some coat hangers
02:12Sharks were biting through those clever biters' ass
02:24I hooked a beast, pulled it with all my might
02:30A hundred fifty pounds, it gave me a fright
02:37Spun in the water, splashed the sky
02:42The sea's bravely lying, it was do or die
02:49Oh, what a thrill to fight, I won't regret
02:55This fishing trip about a lump
02:59I'll never forget
03:01Oh, about a Lumber Bay, where the tides collide
03:04Caught a boat full of fish, yeah, we took it in stride
03:07Rock caught in barramundi, what a catch to date
03:10Fishing is alive in this Aussie Bay
03:15So here's to the nights by the bay
03:18So bold with mates and the stories that never get
03:22Oh, about a lump of bait
03:25You call me again for another fishing trip
03:29You call me again for another fishing trip
