Now if ever been down to New Orleans Then you can understand just I mean All through the week it's as a mouse And on Saturday they go from house to house
You have to pay the usual admission If you're a cook, a waiter or a good So if you happen to be passin' 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 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 house on Rampart
We on the door and it opened with ease And a lush little 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 such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the folks was havin' the time of life Sam was jivin' wife Over in the corner was a beat up Being played by a big fat man
Now some of these folks expensive frocks of them had on bobbie socks Everybody was nice and At particular Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was You seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such 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 the lights went low And lay straight for the front door Man, I was so scared I didn't where to go I stood right there and I on the floor
It was rockin', it was I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of It was rockin', it was I never seen such scufflin' and 'til the break of dawn
Now the women was and jumpin' and yellin' The bottles was flyin', and the fish was Way up above all the noise we hollered, "You better get outta here, this 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 front to They was puttin' 'em in the wagon potatoes in a sack
It was rockin', it was You seen such scufflin' 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' like I had St. Vitus dance I tried to in under a bath tab a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"
Now they got us out of there a house on fire They put us all in the black They 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' 'til the of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen such and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed They each one of us on suspicion My chick came and went my bail And finally got me that rotten jail
If you want to get a fist in your eye Just mention a Night Fish Fry I don't care how fish in the sea But don't mention a fish to me
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 and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
