lyrics

He's a big fish
In a small pond
barely room to swim
but if you wanna go somewhere
you gotta go thru him
he's a big dog
in a small yard
he don't need to run
he'll just sit down and wait by the gate
until you come

He's an 800 pound gorilla
he's trouble on a pogo stick
like a blackberry vine
or a porcupine
he's got one good trick

He's a fat cat on the soft chair
he's got a velvet paw
but if you try to make him move
you'll get tooth and claw

He's a big rig hoggin the fast lane
takin the scenic route
squattin' like a toad
in the middle of the road
with his hand stuck out

He's a big fish
In a small pond
got a mighty thirst
but if you want it to get better
you better get him first
