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 [C7]me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You practice peckin all [Em]day long [Am]to [C7]eome old ɾadio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
You better listen to [C7]your (maw, pay)
and [Bm]someday practice the law
and [Bm]then you'll be [Am]a ɾeal success
Ys, small [Em]fry, (you) kissed the neighbor's daughter
Small [Em]fry, (should) stay in shallow water
Seems I should take you [A7cross my [A]knee
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You've got [Fm7]your feet all [Em]soakin wet
You'll be [Am]the death of me yet
Oh me, oh my, small [Em]fry
