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.

-7    -6*   6*   -6*  -5  6   6*   -6*
Small fry, strut-tin' by the pool room,
-7    -6*    6*  -6* -5  6    6*    -6*
small fry, should be in the school room.

You prac-tice peck-in' all day long
