Cover art for Throw Back The Little Ones lyrics by Steely Dan

It's about an under cover cop, who is looking for dealers in the bario "hood"

Lost in the Barrio I walk like an Injun So Carlo won't suspect something's wrong here I dance in place And paint my face And act like I belong here

he's not worried about the junkies, because they are little fish.

Throw back the little ones And pan-fry the big ones Use tact, poise and reason And gently squeeze them(for info)
