We don’t have to wait for the fish to bite,
They jump on the hooks when we heave in sight,—
We’re deep-sea fishers,
Watch us fish!”
At the appropriate time the fishes turned and caught the lines, then rose as the fishers jumped down from the table, and all danced around in a circle, while the accompanist played the tune through once, finishing it as the last fish or fisher disappeared through the door in the midst of most enthusiastic applause, especially from those who had memories of the deep-sea fishing trip.
The Bird Hike was introduced by a solo from the bird, the burden of whose refrain was:
“Come along, there’s a bird hike here today;
Get you ready, there’s a bird hike here today;
I know them by their graceful walk,
There’s a bird hike here today.
