Where P^Aatterson Cr^Eeek's mud^Ddy waters run ^Adown Past the penny^D arcades, by the har^Ebour downt^Aown, ^AAll the old Turtl^Debacks rust in the ^Arain Like they n^Dever will l^Eeave there ag^Aain.

^ABut leave there they^E will in the hours before d^Aawn, Slip out in the dar^Dkness without w^Eord or song^A; For a ^Afew more y^Dears yet they will wo^Erk while they c^Aan To c^Datch tiny fish f^Eor Japa^An.

N^Eo white fish or trout here, we le^Dave them hom^Ae The inspectors raise he^Dll if we take any ho^Ame. ^EWhat kind of fisherman ca^Dn't eat his cat^Ach Or ca^Dll what he's ta^Eken his ow^An?

But^A the plant works three shi^Efts now. Th^Dere's plenty of ^Apay. We ship seventeen to^Dns of this garb^Eage each da^Ay If we want to eat fi^Dsh, then we'll o^Epen a can^A, And ca^Dtch tiny fis^Eh for Japa^An.

I^En the Norfolk Hotel over fa^Dr too much bee^Ar, The old guys reme^Dmber when the wat^Eer ran clea^Ar. ^ENo poisons with names that we ca^Dn't understan^Ad And^D no tiny fish^E for Japa^An...

S^Ao the days run toge^Ether. Each on^De is the sa^Ame And it's good that the sme^Dlt have no lovelier na^Ame. It's all just a j^Dob now, we'll w^Eork while we ca^An, To^D catch tiny fish^E for Japa^An. A^Dnd we'll catch tiny^E fish for Ja^Apan.
