[Chorus]
Well, come on Pearl, yeah, come on Kitty
If you feel inclined
Down around the bend in the water
Bring your fishing line
Come on Pearl, I'm rough, I'm ready
Well, I got my fishing pole
Down around the bend in the water
At the fishing hole

[Bridge]
It's a fine July on a beautiful night
With a heavenly sky and the moonlight on the bay

[Chorus]
Oh, woah, down around the bend in the water
If you feel inclined
Come on Pearl, well, come on Kitty
I'm gonna make you mine

[Verse]
Well, all around the world tonight
Beautiful scene below
Too fine a time to stand in line
I'm gonna take my love to go
It's a fine July. a beautiful way
For a boy and a girl to pass the time of day
