Lino Taught Me
Lino taught me, Lino taught me how to fish with a stick from the riverbank.
He took me to the woods to pick a branch, and then
He said, "Little buddy, we gotta peel it and scrape it."
Then at the tip, he put a hook, there goes the bait,
And then a good piece of bait.
Hey, Father Isaac, don’t be shocked,
See, it’s the intention that matters most in what’s said.
We were happy eating like kings,
Grandma says it in all the tales of kings, queens, and empresses.
I came to fish, just fishing,
What’s bad is that some words are hard to pronounce, ohhhh!
Then at the creek, we tried it out,
And when a sardine bit, it was all good.
When we got back from town, I had
A string of coconuts and sardines, and we had a great lunch, yayyyy.
That’s why I say Lino taught me (with a stick from the riverbank),
That’s why I say Lino taught me (with a stick from the riverbank).
Oh, from the riverbank, oh, from the riverbank (with a stick from the riverbank).
He asked who would make us a good stick (with a stick from the riverbank).
Oh, I just love scraping it (with a stick from the riverbank).
Hey, Father Isaac, don’t be shocked (with a stick from the riverbank).
God knows what’s said counts (with a stick from the riverbank).
Lino, Lino taught me.
With what, with what, with what? (with a stick from the riverbank).
With what, with what, with what? (with a stick from the riverbank).
What did he say again? (with a stick from the riverbank).
With what was it, with what was it? (with a stick from the riverbank).
With a stick from the riverbank.
Lino taught me, Lino taught me how to fish with a stick from the riverbank.
