about

Chapter 1

After the let-down of his previous fling, Jack meets Jenny one day and is instantly smitten. Due to his upbringing on romantic books and movies, Jack believes his feelings are love at first sight and determines that Jenny is the one for him. Jenny, however, is less than interested in a meaningful long-term relationship and only views Jack as a way to pass time.

lyrics

Jenny plays with her bait
While she waits to dictate
What she will and will not catch.
Jenny wheels and she deals
Till she steals a rod and reel
That will yield her the biggest catch.

Yeah, she was fast with her cast
In the past she would blast
Through about a hundred catches a day.
And when she threw in the blue
People knew they were screwed
And she wouldn't have it any other way.

Jenny stakes a good place
By the lake where she takes
Her time fishing just by the book.
She flops her perm when she turns
To the worms as the squirm
When she puts them each on a hook.

But she don't need what she reaps
She don't heed, she don't keep
What she catches all summer long.
She ain't eating, she's a vegan
And the reason that she's reeling
Is the sport of stringing them along.

(chorus)

She's gone fishin'

I was digging all the swimming
Before the slipping and the tripping
Over Jenny's fishing line.
And I was hooked, I was crooked,
I was booked, it sure looked
Like it was my turn this time.

And I was caught but I thought
She was soft and I aught
To have myself a brand new home.
But I was used and abused
And refused and cut loose,
Now I'm swimming back on my own.

Chorus
