Intro: C A7/9- D7 C A7/9- D7 G7 

 C    A7/9- D7              G7 
Small fry, sittin' by the pool room 
 C    A7/9-  D7               G7 
Small fry, should be in the school room 
C   C9       F                   A7 
My, my, put down that cigarette 
     D9              Am7       D9     G7 
You ain't a grown up high and mighty yet 
 C    A7/9- D7              G7 
Small fry, dancin' for a penny 
 C    A7/9- D7              G7 
Small fry, countin' up how many 
C   C9       F              A7 
My, my, just listen here to me 
     D9               Am7     D9      C  Dm7 C 
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea 

Bridge 
      C7      F7              C               E7           Am 
You practice peckin' all day long to some old radio song 
G   F      Em       G7   C 
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes 
            F7             C               E7           Am 
You better listen to your maw and someday practice the law 
                Am7   D7       G7 
And then you'll be a real success 
 C    A7/9-      D7                    G7 
Small fry, you kissed the neighbor's daughter 
 C    A7/9-         D7              G7 
Small fry, should stay in shallow water 
C     C9        F                  A7 
Seems I should take you 'cross my knee  
     D7               Am7     Dm7     C  Dm7 C 
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea 

Interlude: C A7/9- D7 C A7/9- D7 G7 

C   C9       F                   A7

You ain't a grown up high and mighty yet

You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea 
                  F9               C 
You've got your feet all soakin' wet
