Yeah yeah break up that ripping now
Small fry strutting 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 dancing for a penny
Small fry counting up how many
My my now you just listen here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You practice pecking all day long
To some old radio song
Oh yes I peck oh yes
Now you better listen to your Pa
And someday practice upon the law
Then you'll be a real success
Yes
Yes
Well yes
Small fry now you kissed the neighbor's daughter
Small fry a get on back in in the shallow water
Seems I should take you 'cross my knee
'Cause you ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You got your feet all soaking wet
Lord you'll be the death of me yet
Oh me oh my small fry
You call me small fry
Oh you is most infinitesimal
too small for your britches
You call me small fry
Now now now you look at
here you're shorter than me
I wonder where my smoke is
My my my my my
I never heard such cannon
Be still boy
You better look in the closet Ma
I'll bet the chillies are gone
Oh small fry I saw you out
there betting on those ponies
Tall fry you know that you picked all the ponies
My my my my now you
just listen here to me now
I know I know I know I know
I ain't the biggest catfish
in the sea you said that before
You got a pina Kodak in your pocket
What happened to Mars
Where in ring did you hock it Oh yes
Oh not so loud
Oh yes
You signed your own report card last night
Now didn't you
Well why don't you learn how to write
And then you'll be a real success
Yes yes well yes
Small fry now you kissed the neighbor's daughter
Well I gave her a small smack but quite happy
You the one who taught her
Oh seems I should take you across my knee
Now you ain't the bigger cat fish in the sea
I know how to fix this boy
Is that casting all around here
I just slipped it in your beer
Oh me oh my small fry
