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
