Silver Carp Lyrics

Silver carp coin upriver
I believe they started in Arkansas
Silver carp below the radar
Silver Carp above the law
Sturgeon spoke, sturgeon's worried
Oughta see the look on the long-nosed gar
Bullhead, bowfin, buffalo running
Seeking asylum at the DNR

The little ones leap, collide with heaven
Big ones down in the weeds in hell
King Carp lies on God's own sandbar
Pickin' off perch like William Tell

Oh
Oh the Carp are comin'
Oh the Carp are comin'
Oh the Carp are here
Now the zebar mussel, he's a sly little devil
He'll hid, hitch a ride on your old pontoon
But the Silver Carp gonna fire up your Evinrude
Gone like a gun to Saskatoon

Old Fisherman Bob tried to catch 'em
But Fisherman Bob couldn't get 'er in the boat
Now Fisherman Bob's at the bottom of the river
With a paddlefish pelt for an overcoat

Oh
Oh the Carp are comin'
Oh the Carp are comin'
Oh the Carp are here
The lamprey man gets the bright green dollar
The milfoil man gets pennies brown
The Silver Carp gets twenty-give gobies
Just for swimmin' up and down

There ain't no stink-bait, Rapala, nor spinner
No fly, no frog, no hook, no wire
Cast your nets but they jst keep comin'
Arkansas Carp with their fins on fire

Oh
Oh the Carp are comin'
Oh the Carp are comin'
Oh the Carp are here
