(Grabbing the chance)

A little bit country - 'Yonder Comes A Sucker' by Jim Reeves ...

Yonder Comes a Sucker

Chorus

Sail boat, row boat, river or lake beach
Yonder comes a sucker – he's a jumbo leech
And I'm castin', castin', castin
And I'm castin', castin', castin
And I bid him a fond farewell


Now some folks think a leech is gross
They've no idea – and that's their loss
For if you want to bait a hook
A leech is best in any book

Chorus

So here's my plan – works like a charm
I'm starting up a new leech farm
Just get some meat that's full of blood
And watch those suckers suck their food

Chorus

Now in my pond, lo and behold
A writhing mass of pure black gold
Each of them squirms, and each one sucks
And each full pound costs sixteen bucks

Chorus

And now at last my fortune's made
By sellin' to the fishin' trade
If you've a rod, and you pass by
I'll sell to you – I'll suck you dry

Chorus

Sail boat, row boat, river or lake beach
Yonder comes a sucker – for a jumbo leech
And I'm sellin', sellin' sellin'
And I'm sellin', sellin' sellin'
And I bid you a fond farewell
