Intro:
Small fry, sittin by the pool room
Small fry, should be in the 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
Bridge
You practice peckin all day long to some old radio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
You better listen to your maw and someday practice the law
And then you ll be a real success
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
Interlude:
My, my, put down that cigarette
You ain t a grown up high and mighty yet
Interlude:
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 practice peckin all day long to some old radio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
You better listen to your maw and someday practice the law
And then you ll be a real success
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 ll be the death of me yet
Oh me, oh my, small fry
