Lyrics What's That Smells Like Fish - Blind Boy Fuller

"What's that smell like fish, mama?"
"Food, if you really want to know."
"What's that smell like fish, baby?"
"Food, if you really wants to know."
"Smell like puddin' and it ain't no pie.
Same thing that you know you have to buy.
What's that smell like fish?"
"Food, if you really wants to know, I mean,
Food, if you really wants to know." (Yeah.)

What's that smell like fish, mama?
Food, if you really wants to know.
What's that smells like fish, baby?
Food, if you really wants to know.
Smell like sardines and it ain't in no can.
Same doggone thing you chucked at the other man.
What that smell like fish, mama?
Food, if you really wants to know, I mean,
Food, if you really want to know.

What's that smell like fish, baby?
Food, if you really wants to know. (Yeah.)
What's that smells like fish, mama?
Food, if you really wants to know.
Smell like puddin' and it ain't no pie.
Really good to me and it ain't no lie.
What that smell like fish, mama?
Food, if you really wants to know, still tellin' you,
Food, if you really wants to know. (Yeah.)

(Play it a long time. Play it till it gets good to me.)

What's that smell like fish, mama?
Food, if you really wants to know.
What's that smell like fish, baby?
Food, if you really wants to know.
Make you weep and it'll make you moan.
Same doggone thing made me leave my home.
What that smell like fish, baby?
Food, if you really wants to know, I mean,
Food, if you really wants to know.
