You don't have to pay the admission If you're a cook, a or a good musician So if you happen to be just by Stop in at the Saturday Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my and me was on the main stem around just me and him We we could use a little something to eat So we went to a house on Rampart
We knocked on the door and it opened with And a lush Miss said, "Come in, please" we could even bat an eye We were right in the middle of a big fry

I didn't know we was the law But somebody reached and hit me on the jaw They had us blocked off from to back They was puttin' 'em in the wagon potatoes in a sack
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the of dawn It was rockin', it was I never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
I knew I get away if I had a chance But I was shakin' like I had that St. dance I tried to in under a bath tab a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"
Now they got us out of there a house on fire They put us all in the Maria They might have missed a few But they got me and my buddy too
