Small Fry

Small Fry - Mildred Bailey And Her Orchestra

Here comes that good for nothin' brat of a boy

He's such a devil I could whip him with joy

He's been carousin' at the burleycue

Just watch me teach him with the sole of my shoe

Small fry struttin' by the pool room

Small fry should be in the school room

My my put down that cigarette

You ain't 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 paw

And someday practice the law

And then you'll be a real success

Yes small fry you kissed the neighbour's daughter

Small fry 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 death of me yet

Oh me oh my small fry

Small fry you kissed the neighbour's daughter

Small fry 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 death of me yet

Oh me oh my small fry

Oh me oh my
