"Small Fry" lyrics
"Small Fry"
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
Small fry, dancin' for a penny
Small fry, countin' up how many
My, my just you listen' here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You practice peckin' all day long to same old radio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
You better listen to your pa
And someday practice the law
And then you'll be a real success
Small fry, you kissed the neighbor's daughter
Small fry, you should stay in shallow water
Seems I should take you cross my knee
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
My, my put down that cigarette
You ain't grown up high and mighty yet
My, my just you listen' here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You practice peckin' all day long to same old radio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
You better listen to your pa
And someday practice the law
And then you'll be a real success
Yes, small fry, you kissed the neighbor's daughter
Small fry, you 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

The taste of life was sweet
Like rain upon my tongue
