Small Fry

Here comes that good for nothin' brat of a boy He's such a devil I could whip him with joy He's been carousin' at the burleycue Just watch me teach him with the sole of my shoe 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 listen here to me You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea You practice peckin' all day long to some old radio song Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, you better listen to your paw And someday practice the law And then you'll be a real success Yes, small fry, you kissed the neighbour's daughter Small fry, shoulda 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
