Fish Fry
\nBy Johnny B. Wilson<\/p>\n
There’s a lot of fine folks over in Japan,
\nBuild cars and cameras just as fast as they can.
\n…And they’re pretty polite, but I sure do wish,
\nSomebody would show ’em how to cook a fish.<\/p>\n
CHORUS
\nGet the skillet good and greasy, get the grease good and hot
\nRoll ’em in some corn meal, pop ’em in the pot.
\nServe ’em up with hush puppies, and man, oh man,
\nYou got a fish fry –a good old down home Southern country cookin’ fish fry.<\/p>\n
It was the durndest thing that I ever saw,
\nI ordered me a fish and they brought it to me raw,
\nAnd they wouldn’t understand, though I tried and tried
\nTo tell ’em that I really would of rather had it fried.<\/p>\n
CHORUS<\/p>\n
Well the waitress was a beauty from down in Yokohama,
\nWas a dark-haired geisha and a red-hot momma.
\nShe said, “Yankee-san, what is your wish?”
\nI said, “Don’t call me Yankee, and cook that fish!”<\/p>\n
CHORUS<\/p>\n
Now eatin’ raw fish, there’s nothing wrong with that,
\nAs long as you’re an eagle, or as long as you’re a cat,
\nBut Kentuckians got honor, Bald Knobbers got pride,
\nAnd if we eat a fish, we want it fried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
