Little Jimmy is a smallmouth bass
Little Jimmy got to watch his ass
Fisherman be all around
Trying to pull Jimmy out
But though the danger lurks
To Jimmy, caution is a dirty word
‘Cuz when it comes to getting off the hook
Little Jimmy, he wrote the book
With a form that’s well rehearsed
He’s the Houdini of the underwater world
Some fish have been let go
But Jimmy’s never been inside a boat
Little Jimmy say
Fisherman got a hook in me
I ain’t betting on him setting me free
I’m gonna eat that minnow down
Then I’ll lose that fishing clown
I got a beard of fishing line
One more strand will suit me fine
That’s Little Jimmy’s bottom line
Little Jimmy, he’s known all around
By the fish in water town
Some say he’s a swimming fool
They say he don’t know a piece of bait from food
But when they bet to win
All the bets are placed on Jim
The other day around suppertime
I saw a fisherman cast a line
Bang went that bobber down
And I just new those bets were out
And down there in the lake
Jimmy was swimming in a mighty strange way
Little Jimmy say
Fisherman got a hook in me
I ain’t betting on him setting me free
I’m gonna eat that minnow down
Then I’ll lose that fishing clown
I got a beard of fishing line
One more strand will suit me fine
That’s Little Jimmy’s bottom line
Little Jimmy, a.k.a.
The one that got away
