From the 1993 album "Let's Knife".

Shonen Knife (Shōnen Naifu; lit. "Boy knife") is an influential all-female Japanese pop-punk band formed in Osaka, Japan in 1981. Heavily influenced by 1960s girl groups, pop bands, The Beach Boys and early punk rock acts, such as The Ramones, the trio crafts stripped-down songs expressing infectious melodies and simplistic, exuberant lyrics sung both in Japanese and English.

LYRICS:
Let's go fishing for a Black Bass
But it is a rainy day
Let's go fishing to the lake
But it is a windy day

I went to buy many lures
I got up early in the morning
I made tuna sandwiches
Put 'em in a basket with chocobars

Black Bass, got my tackle and my bait
Black Bass, oh I can hardly wait
Black Bass, come along with me
Black Bass, oh how happy we'll be

Let's go fishing for a Black Bass
But it is a rainy day
Let's go fishing to the lake
But it is a windy day

Someone brought the Black Bass
To this lake from far away
Changing the biological
Distribution of the lake

Black Bass, got my tackle and my bait
Black Bass, oh I can hardly wait
Black Bass, come along with me
Black Bass, oh how happy we'll be

My little boy, come fishing with me
Black Bass, Black Bass, Black Bass
I wanna see you catch me a Black Bass
Black Bass, Black Bass, Black Bass

I went to buy many lures
I got up early in the morning
I made tuna sandwiches
Put 'em in a basket with chocobars

Black Bass, got my tackle and my bait
Black Bass, oh I can hardly wait
Black Bass, come along with me
Black Bass, oh how happy we'll be

Let's go fishing for a Black Bass
Let's go fishing for a Black Bass
My little boy, a Black Bass
I wanna see you catch me a Black Bass
Rainy Sunday, Black Sabbath
