Hoagy Carmichael - Small Fry lyrics

Small fry, sittin' 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, 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 Maw and someday practice the law And then you'll be a real success Small fry, you kissed the neighbor's daughter Small fry, 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 d**h of me yet Oh my, oh my, small fry
