Everybody gathered where the river runs wider at the edge of town
To see if that Eddie LeVon baptism was really gonna go down
Folks bet hard-earned money that water wouldn't change a thing
They set the odds at 100 to 1, his soul would never come clean
Then the preacher said people take a moment or two
There's something we need to do
Pray for the fish
They won't know what's coming
When the sins starts rolling off the likes of him
Lord, be with 'em, they ain't done nothin'
Please, won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim
Pray for the fish

Well, the preacher ducked him under that cool, clear, water, then he did it again
Eddie came up yellin'
"Lord in heaven, hallelujah, I'm a brand new man!"
Well, the water got to bubblin', sky got to rumblin' and the thunder backed up the choir (oooh)
The fish started jumpin'
It was like they were swimmin' in a lake of fire
Then, Eddie's mama stepped outta the crowd
And started yellin' out loud
"Pray for the fish!
They won't know what's coming
When the sins starts rolling off the likes of him
Lord, be with 'em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim
Pray for the fish!"
He said "Everybody cross your fingers, fold your hands
Pray for ol' Eddie, but before we say amen, pray for the fish."

Lord, be with 'em, they ain't done nothin'
Please, won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim
Pray for the fish
Lord, pray for the fish
