Now if ever been down to New Orleans you can understand just what I mean All through the week it's quiet as a And on Saturday night they go from to house
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 in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the stem Foolin' just me and him We decided we use a little something to eat So we went to a on Rampart Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with And a little Miss said, "Come in, please" we could even bat an eye We were right in the middle of a big fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' the break of dawn
Now the folks was the time of their life Sam was jivin' wife Over in the corner was a up grand Being by a big fat piano man
Now some of these folks wore expensive Some of them had on bobbie Everybody was nice and At particular Saturday Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my and me, we fell right in We hollered, "Let the joy begin" Now thinking we could get a good place to play But the party was on the way
All of a sudden the went low And lay straight for the front door Man, I was so scared I didn't know to go I stood right there and I on the floor

Now they got us out of there like a house on put us all in the black Maria They might missed a pitiful few But they got both me and my too
