Now if you've ever been to New Orleans Then you can just what I mean All through the it's quiet as a mouse And on Saturday they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the admission If you're a cook, a waiter or a musician So if you happen to be passin' 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 break of
Now my buddy and me was on the stem Foolin' just me and him We decided we could use a something to eat So we to a house 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 right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of
Now the folks was havin' the of their life Sam was Jimmie's wife Over in the corner was a beat up played by a big fat piano man
Now some of these folks expensive frocks Some of them had on socks was nice and high At particular 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 break of
Now my buddy and me, we 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 lights low And everybody lay straight for the front Man, I was so I didn't know where to go I stood right 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 seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin' The bottles was flyin', and the was smellin' Way up above all the we made Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, is a raid"
I didn't know we was the law But reached over and hit me on the jaw They had us off from front to back was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack
It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of
I I could get away if I had a chance But I was shakin' like I had that St. Vitus I tried to crawl in 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 They have missed a pitiful few But got both me and my buddy too
It was rockin', it was You never seen such scufflin' and 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed They booked one of us on suspicion My chick came and went my bail And got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever want to get a in your eye Just mention a Saturday Night Fry I care how many fish in the sea But don't ever a fish to me
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 and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
