It was the nite before Christmas and all round the yacht
the only thing moving was the fishys
in the live bait pot
all the crew passed out in their beds
while visions of new black bart and Halloween lures
danced in their heads
with the tuna tubes all lined up in a row
just swillin some grog waiting to see what might show
when all of the sudden
from the outriggers arose such a clatter
i bolted from the v birth
to see what could be the matter
and there on my deck thru my rum glazed eyes
stood a 2000 lb marlin
gazing at me with his big fishy eyes
a gigantic beast if there ever was
a Costa Rican record i would be all the buzz
and i thought i heard him exclaim
as he tail walked from my sight
catch me if you can salty you son of a b
and if ever you do best keep the line tighhhhhhhhht!!!!!!
Merry fishmas and happy new lure
