"I've Got Other Fish To Fry" lyrics

Oh, once you made me scrape and bow
Refused my kisses on your brow
So I can't take your lovin' now
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

Oh, once you had things just your way
Six other guys filled all your day
But now it's come your time to pay
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

Oh, once I took you out to dine
You ate from six 'til a half-past nine
Ten bucks for your dinner and a quarter for mine
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

I once could afford to spend some jack
The best abroad cloth on my back
But since I met you I wear a gunny sack
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

Oh, once you wore cute blues and blacks
With great big ruffles and low-cut backs
But then I saw you in a pair of slacks
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

Once your cheeks looked like a rose
Two cute freckles and a turned-up nose
But now you look like last year's clothes
A baby, I've got other fish to fry

No, we won't go dine and dance
You've got to give a new love a chance
You've done broke up our romance
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

Oh, once I thought you hung the sun
Put the stars out one by one
But now you almost weigh a ton
Baby, I've got other fish to fry

I once had plans for me and you
With maybe a daughter named Susie Q
But now you say you want 22
Baby, I've got other fish to fry
