| Small fry, struttin by the pool room
|
| Small fry, should be in the school room
|
| My, my put down that cigarette
|
| You ain’t grown up high and mighty yet
|
| Samll fry, dancin for a penny
|
| Small fry, countin up how many
|
| My, my just jlisten here to me
|
| You ain’t the biggest catfish in the sea
|
| You practice peckin all day long to eome old radio song
|
| Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
|
| You better listen to your (maw, pay)
|
| And someday practice the law
|
| And then you’ll be a real success
|
| Ys, small fry, (you) kissed the neighbor’s daughter
|
| Small fry, (should) stay in shallow water
|
| Seems I should take you 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 |
