The Lyrics


I smelt a smelt on you. . .
Didn't smell fine.
I'll tell you what you're supposed to do:
Well, be fryin'
The fish--swell fryin'!

Oh, hell, do not slather
That smelt all around
Your body and lather
With piscine perfume--that act's unsound.

I smelt a smelt on you,
Propelled in rhin;
'tain't fine!

I smell you;
It's smelt--euw!
Why don't you
Take a few baths right now
And quell that air
Of odor fishy
That’s worse than cow--
Fresh patties!

And get that smell off you,
Then on smelt dine.

Here's some fishy fives... This makes me think of the Monty Python "Fish Slapping" skit!!!

Love the title with the hominyms - I smelled a smelt. After you clean fish it is hard to get rid of the odor.

I forgot - I expecially liked the part about piscine perfume. You will never get that from Avon.
