Now if you've ever been down to New Then you can understand what I mean All through the it's quiet as a mouse And on night they go from house to house
You don't to pay the usual admission If you're a cook, a or a good musician So if you happen to be just by Stop in at the Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of It was rockin', it was You never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the main Foolin' around me and him We we could use a little something to eat So we went to a on Rampart Street
We on the door and it opened with ease And a little Miss said, "Come in, please" we could even bat an eye We were in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of It was rockin', it was You never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the folks was havin' the of their life Sam was jivin' wife in the corner was a beat up grand Being by a big fat piano man
Now some of these wore expensive frocks of them had on bobbie socks Everybody was and high At particular Saturday Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me, we fell in We hollered, "Let the joy begin" Now we're thinking we could get a good to play But the was already on the way
All of a sudden the lights low And everybody lay for the front door Man, I was so scared I didn't know to go I stood there and I fell on the floor
It was rockin', it was I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' the break of dawn It was rockin', it was I never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and The bottles was flyin', and the was smellin' Way up all the noise we made Somebody hollered, "You get outta here, this is a raid"
I didn't we was breaking the law But reached over and hit me on the jaw They had us blocked off from front to 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 such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
I knew I could get away if I had a But I was shakin' like I had that St. Vitus I tried to in under a bath tab When a policeman said, "Where are you there, bub?"
Now they got us out of there like a on fire They put us all in the black might have missed a pitiful few But they got me and my buddy too
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the of dawn
Well we headed for in a dazed condition They each one of us on suspicion My chick down and went my bail And finally got me outta that rotten
If you ever to get a fist in your eye Just mention a Saturday Night Fry I don't care how many in the sea But don't ever mention a to me
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of It was rockin', it was You never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
