Lyrics
The little man with the fish, the little man with the fish,
He’s got to holler to make a dollar ‘cos that’s the way he sells fish;
The little man with the fish, the little man with the fish,
His voice is bigger than his whole figure but that’s the way he sells fish.

You can always find him on the corner yelling, look at all the diff’rent kinds of fish he’s selling,
Pickerel and mackerel and fresh caught herring, that’s the little man who sells the fish.
Listen to the way he yells to make his money, even little children think he’s very funny.
But they know that when the little man is done, he really sells an awful lot of fish.

Oh! he’s the man with the fish, oh, he’s the man with the fish,
You know he’s near by the atmosphere, when you hear the man with the fish;
He doesn’t sell any ham, don’t ever ask him for lamb;
He’d sell you sooner a pound of tuna, ‘cos he’s the man with the fish.
