Lyrics Skinnie Minnie (Fishtail) - Alma Cogan




Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail, fishtail, fishtail
Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Catch-a me tonight
Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeeze-a me tonight
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Come an' catch-a me
I'll knock, knock, knock upon the rock until you catch-a me
Big Manuel is a fisherman
He fish, fish, fish all the time he can
He fish all night an' he fish all day
I think he's gonna fish his life away
One night so bright, in his boat I hide
He row the boat on the ocean wide
An' then he stop at a great big rock
He sing this song an' he knock, knock, knock
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Catch-a me tonight
Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeeze-a me tonight
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Come an' catch-a me
I'll knock, knock, knock upon the rock until you catch-a me
Catch-a me, catch-a me, you catch-a me
He knock, knock, knock on the rock like this
The mermaid fish, she come to swish
She swish and sway for the fisherman
She like to catch him an' she know she can
The mermaid fish, she is oh, so nice
She swish her tail an' roll her eyes
Emanuel fish night an' day
He fish for Skinny Minnie, swish an' sway
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Catch-a me tonight
Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeeze-a me tonight
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Come an' catch-a me
I'll knock, knock, knock upon the rock until you catch-a me
Catch-a me, catch-a me, you catch-a me
Hey Jock, we rode to the rock tonight
You never see such a fish to bite
You see the fish and you fish no more
You do your fishing at the grocery store
Tonight we buy all the fish we can
Tonight we fish like a fisherman
Tonight we row to the great big rock
We sing this song, an' we knock, knock, knock
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Catch-a me tonight
Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeeze-a me tonight
Hey, Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail
Come an' catch-a me
I'll knock, knock, knock upon the rock until you catch-a me
I'll knock, knock, knock upon the rock until you catch-a me
Skinny Minnie, Skinny Minnie fishtail!
