refused my kisses on your brow,
so I can't take your lovin' now.
Baby, I've got other fish to fry.
Oh, once you had things just your way
Six other guys filled all your day
But now it's come your time to pay
Baby, I've got other fish to fry
Oh, once I took you out to dine
You ate from six till a half -past nine
Ten bucks for your dinner
I once could afford to spend some jack
The best abroad cloth on my back
But since I met you I wear a gunny sack
Baby, I've got other fish to fry
Oh, once you wore cute blues and blacks
With great big ruffles and low -cut backs
But then I saw you in a pair of slacks
Baby, I've got other fish to fry
Oh, once your cheeks looked like a rose
Two cute freckles and a turned -up nose
But now you look like last
Baby, I've got other fish
No, we won't go dine and dance
You've done broke up our romance
Baby, I've got other fish to fry
Oh, once I thought you hung the sun,
put the stars out one by one,
but now you almost weigh a ton.
Baby, I've got other fish to fry.
I once had plans for me and you,
with maybe a daughter named Susie Q,
but now you say you want 22.
Baby, I've got other fish to fry.
