[Lyric] Small Fry (Al Bowlly)

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
