Now if you've ever been down to New you can understand just what I mean All through the week it's as a mouse And on Saturday night they go from house to
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 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
Now my and me was on the main stem Foolin' just me and him We we could use a little something to eat So we went to a on Rampart Street
We knocked on the and it opened with ease And a lush Miss said, "Come in, please" we could even bat an eye We were right in the of a big fish fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen 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 the folks was havin' the time of their Sam was Jimmie's wife in the corner was a beat up grand Being played by a big fat man
Now some of these folks wore frocks Some of them had on bobbie Everybody was and high At Saturday Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the of dawn It was rockin', it was You seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me, we right in We hollered, "Let the joy begin" Now we're thinking we could get a place to play But the was already on the way
All of a sudden the lights low And everybody lay straight for the front Man, I was so scared I know where to go I right there and I fell on the floor
It was rockin', it was I never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' the break of dawn
Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and The bottles was flyin', and the fish was Way up above all the we made Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, is a raid"
I didn't we was breaking the law But somebody reached and hit me on the jaw had us blocked off from front to back They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like 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 seen 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. dance I to crawl 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 put us all in the black Maria They might missed a pitiful few But got both me and my buddy too
It was rockin', it was You never seen scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a condition They booked each one of us on My chick came down and my bail And got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever to get a fist in your eye Just mention a Saturday Fish Fry I don't how many fish in the sea But don't ever mention a to me
It was rockin', it was You never seen scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
