Joe Cocker – Catfish Lyrics

Blues

Lazy stadium night
Catfish on the mound
Strike three,' the umpire said
Better have to go back and sit down.

Catfish, million-dollar-man
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can

He used to work on Mr. Finley's farm
But the old man wouldn't pay
He packed his glove and took his arm
He just run away

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can

Come up where the Yankees are
Dressed in a pinstripe suit
Smoke a custom-made cigar
Wear an alligator boot

Catfish, million-dollar-man
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can

Carolina born and bred
Love to hunt the little quail
Got a hundred-acre spread
Got some huntin' dogs for sale

Catfish, million-dollar-man
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can

Reggie Jackson at the plate
Seein' nothin' but the curve
Swing too early or too late
Got to eat what Catfish serve

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Even Billy Martin grins
When the Fish is in the game
Every season twenty wins
Gonna make the Hall of Fame

Catfish, million-dollar-man
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can
