Started out as a song about a gangster called Jimmy the Fish. Ended up being about a Baracuda called Skinny.
The song swam in my head one night and kept me awake so I got up and wrote it. It was origonally called Jimmy the fish and was about a gangster but ended up about this mean fish called skinny. The gangster theme still prevailed.
Out in the pond was a fish called Skinny.
Skinny was the meanest fish you'd know.
Had all the sharks to help him.
Had all the rays to run the show.
You could do as you like but try as you might
You didn't stand a show.
