Small Fry: Hoagy Carmichael/Frank Loesser
Intro Chorus:
[C] [E7]/[D]
Small fry,
[Dm7] [G6]
sittin' by the pool room
[C] [E7]/[D]
Small fry,
[Dm7] [G6]
should be in the school room
[C] [C7] [F] [E7]
My, my, put down that cigarette
[D9] [G6]
You ain't a-grown up high and mighty yet
Chorus:
[C] [E7]/[D]
Small fry,
[Dm7] [G6]
dancin' for a penny
[C] [E7]/[D]
Small fry,
[Dm7] [G6]
countin' up how many
[C] [C7] [F]
My, my, just listen here to me
[D7] [G6] [C]
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea
Bridge:
[F] [C] [E7] [Am]
You practice peckin' all day long to some old radio song
[F] [G] [C]
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
[F] [C] [E7] [Am]
You better listen to your Maw and someday practice the law
[D7] [G7]
And then you'll be a real success
(Chorus Chords):
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
(Bridge Chords)
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, small fry!
