ぐずぐずしないで雨戸あけ そうさお出掛けさ
車でなんてとんでもない やっぱ自転車さ
風切る気持ちたまらない もうすぐ公園だ
芝生に寝転がって 空見上げれば
いつのまにか全てが 簡単な事に思えてしまう
どんなに都会なとこだって 探してみようよ
君のお気に入りの場所が きっとあるはずさ
なんて今日はいい天気でしょ さあさこんな日は
釣り糸たらしにあぞこまで 君と競争さ
Oh! 魚つり Oh! 魚つり
Oh! 魚つり Oh! 魚つり
ポカポカ陽気に誘われて 君と二人きり
ユラユラ揺れるボートの上 地のド真ん中
全国どこでも日本晴れ なんて気持ちいい
釣り糸たらして ぼんやり空でも見上げよう
でもエサをさわれないし 池を覗けば
気持ち良く泳いでる おさかなとってもかわいいから
ながぐつ釣りって笑いましょう それが似合いさ
楽しまなけりゃつまらないぜ そうさ何事も
なんて今日はいい天気でしょ さあさこんな日は
釣り糸垂らして一日中 さあ魚つり
Oh! 魚つり Oh! 魚つり
Oh! 魚つり Oh! 魚つり
My!
Today has good weather. On a day like today
Without fuss, I open the storm door, about to head out
It’s too nice to take the car. I think I will take the bicycle
The windy feeling doesn’t stop. Soon I am at the park
Lying down on the lawn, if I look up at the sky
Sometimes I think everything is simple
When it is the city is dense, you will still try searching
Certainly, you expect to find your favorite place
My! Today has good weather. On a day like today
I compete with you until you drop in your fishing line
Oh! Fishing
Oh! Fishing
Oh! Fishing
Oh! Fishing
Your cheerful rosy cheeks inviting, the two of us
Sitting in the center of a swaying boat
Everywhere in Japan is clear sky. How good it feels
We drop in our fishing lines and idly look at the sky
But the bait is untouched. We peek in the pond
Swimming comfortably, the fish are so cute
Wading in to fish, we smile because it fits so well
So it is with fun boring things
My! Today has good weather. On a day like today
Throughout the day dropping our line – fishing
Oh! Fishing
Oh! Fishing
Oh! Fishing
Oh! Fishing
