Small Fry

Here comes that good for nothin', brat of a boy
He's such a devil
I could whip him with joy

He's been carousin' at the burleycue
Just watch me teach him with the sole of my shoe
Small Fry struttin' by the pool room
Small Fry should be in a school room
My my put down that cigarette
You ain't a grown up high and mighty yet

Small Fry dancin' for a penny
Small Fry countin' up how many
My my just listen here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea

You practice peckin' all day long to some old radio song
Oh yes
Oh yes
Oh yes

You better listen to your ma and someday practice the law
Then you'll be a real success
Yes

Small Fry kissed the neighbor's daughter
Small Fry stay in shallow water
Seems I should take ya cross my knee
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea

You've got your feet all soakin' wet
You'll be the death of me yet
Oh me
Oh my
Small Fry

You better listen to your ma and someday practice the law
Then you'll be a real success
Yes

Small fry dancin' for a penny
Small fry countin' up how many
My my just listen here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea

You've got your feet all soakin' wet
You'll be the death of me yet
Oh me
Oh my
Small Fry
