Behold the Fisherman

"Behold the Fisherman" (sung by The Mellomen) is a song about what a fisherman (in this case, J. Audubon Woodlore) is and what he does. It was featured in the Wonderful World of Color episode "The Ranger of Brownstone".
==Lyrics==
He's loaded down with tackle
He jumps into his boat
He starts the early morning
On a very cheerful note
With great anticipation
He takes off in high gear
Alas, poor dope, his anchor rope
Is still tied to the pier
Behold the fisherman
Behold the fisherman
With confidence that nothing can dismay
His skill is unsurpassed
He only needs one cast
And he's tangled up the balance of the day
In scientific research
He practices his art
With slide rule and barometer
Thermometer and chart
He studies all the insects
That fly or crawl or swim
And while he studies fishes
All the fishes study him
Behold the fisherman
Behold the fisherman
While eating lunch, he lets no time go by
Oh, but fish ignored his plugs
His spinners, jigs and bugs
For they'd rather have his ham and cheese on rye
He knows the fish are clever
He hides up in a tree
He's trying to outsmart them
And he's moving cautiously
But when the branch is broken
He seems so out of place
Instead of going angling
He's just dangling out in space
Behold the fisherman
Behold the fisherman
What aches and pains and tortures he's endured
His liniments and pills
May heal a lot of ills
But the fishing fever never can be cured.
