Small fry Strutting by the pool room
Small fry Should be in the schoolroom
My my You 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 Just you 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 oh yes oh yes
You'd better listen to your Pa and someday practice the law
And then you'll be a real success
Small fry You kissed the neighbour's daughter
Small fry You should stay in shallow water
Seems I ought to take you cross my knee
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea

My my You just put down that cigarette
You ain't a 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 pecking all day long to some old radio song
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
You'd better listen to your Pa and someday practice the law
And then you'll be A real success
Yes Small fry You kissed the neighbour's daughter
Small fry You should stay in shallow water
Seems I ought to take you cross my knee
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
You've got your feet all soaking wet
You'll be the death of me yet
Oh me oh my small fry
