Verse

When in college our lad made some special friends

Kept him from subversives and their kind

Swirled within a world of sports and dividends

And the song they sang was etched apon his mind

Chorus

Cut the hair off the hippies sleeping

Listen up Mike, it's the right thing

Chop the fringes, off the freakish

In the small pond you'll be a big fish

In the small pond you'll be a big fish

Verse

35 a burning drive possessed him

To be the greatest golfer in North Bay

Sometimes a fear of failure near obsessed him

And then he'd hear the other golfers say

Cut the motion on your back swing

Listen up Mike, it's the right thing

Chop the golf ball with a big swish

In the small pond you'll be a big fish

In the small pond you'll be a big fish

Verse

Now he's breaking bread with heads of industry

The Capitan in the Autumn of his years

He proceeds with masionical rapidity

When he echos mothers words he hears the cheers

Listen up Mike it's the right thing

Chop the healthcare, you'll get your wish

In the small pond you'll be a big fish (everyone!)
