Little minnows in the river: kingfish in the deep blue sea Lord I got a gang of women: trying to get a chance with me You may think it's all right: but baby doll can't you see Now you know doggone well: you are getting out of place with me I will play kingfish: if you act just like the minnows do In case old Tampa Red should flutter: don't you be ashamed to shoo Now I'm a kingfish papa: and I know what kind of bait to choose That's why so many women: crying those kingfish blues
