Now if you've been down to New Orleans Then you can just what I mean All through the it's quiet as a mouse And on Saturday night go from house to house
You don't have to pay the admission If a cook, a waiter or a good musician So if you happen to be just by Stop in at the Saturday Night 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' 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 and it opened with ease And a lush little said, "Come in, please" Before we could bat an eye We right in the middle of a big fish fry
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
Now the folks was the time of their life Sam was jivin' Jimmie's 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 socks Everybody was and high At particular Night 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' 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 place to But the was already on the way
All of a sudden the lights low And lay straight for the front door Man, I was so scared I know where to go I stood right there and I on the floor
It was rockin', it was I never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the 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 blocked off from to back They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a
It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was I never such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
I I could get away if I had a chance But I was shakin' I had that St. Vitus dance I tried to crawl in under a tab When a policeman said, "Where are you there, bub?"
Now they got us out of like a house on fire They put us all in the Maria They might have a pitiful few But got both 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 and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Well we headed for in a dazed condition They booked each one of us on My chick came down and my bail And finally got me outta that jail
If you want to get a fist in your eye Just mention a Night Fish 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
