Hillary The Fisherman

There was a girl named hillary
A professional fisherman
She wanted to catch a marlin
But she couldn't so instead she sang
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Oooohh, that's the way it is now
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Hillary wants to catch that fish
She tried to catch it everyday,
But somehow that fish always go away
She couldn't seem to find out what wen wrong
So instead she sang this song:
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Oooohh, that's the way it is now
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Hillary wants to catch that fish
Swimming, through the ocean
She could see it slipping out of her grasp
The one thing in the world she wanted,
She couldn't have
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Oooohh, that's the way it is now
She's done with singing
That's the way it is
So finally one day,
She got an idea,
To change her bait
She stuck an avocado on the end of her line
And the next thing that she knew
Tugging, and tugging
On it was a marlin!
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Oooohh, that's the way it is now
Oooohh, that's the way it is
Hillary caught that marlin
H i double l a r y
Hillary! (5x)
