Al Bowlly — Small Fry

Small fry, strutting by the pool room Small fry, should be in the schoolroom My, my, put down that cigarette there, boy You ain't a grown up high and mighty yet Hey you! Small fry, you're dancing for a penny Small fry, you're counting up how many My, my, just you listen here to me boy You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea You practice pecking all day long to some old radio song Oh yes, oh yes Yes, yes, yes You better listen to your Ma and someday practice the law And then you'll be a real success, yes Small fry, you kissed the neighbor's daughtеr Say small fry, you should stay in shallow water Seems I should take you cross my knee You ain't the biggеst catfish in the sea You've got your feet all soaking' wet My, you'll be the death of me yet Oh me, oh my, small fry
