Small Fry Songtext
von Amos Garrett

Here comes that no good brat of a boy
Mm-hmm
You know he′s such a little devil I could just whop him with joy
He's been carousing at the burlicue
I know it
Just let me teach him with the sole of my shoe

Small fry, struggling by the pool room
Small fry, should be in the school room
Me oh my, put out that cigarette
You ain′t no grown-up high and mighty yet

Small fry, dancing for a penny
Small fry, counting up how many
Me oh my, just listen here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea


You practice pecking all day long to some old radio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
You shoulda listened to your pa and maybe practiced along, yes
You'll be a real success, yes

Small fry, kissed the neighbour′s daughter
Small fry, shoulda stayed in shallow water
Seems I should take you across my knee
You ain′t the biggest catfish in the sea

Here comes Mr. Catfish
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, here's mean old Mr. Willkie
Now he′ll teach you, you listen

Small fry, kissed the neighbour's daughter
Small fry, shoulda stayed in shallow water
Me oh my, just listen here to me
You ain′t the biggest catfish in the sea

You get your feet all soaking wet
It'll be the death of me yet
Oh, me oh my
Small
Fry
