Now if you've ever down to New Orleans Then you can just what I mean All through the week it's quiet as a And on Saturday night they go from house to
You don't have to pay the usual If a cook, a waiter or a good 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 and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was You never seen scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the main Foolin' around me and him We decided we 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" Before we could bat an eye We right in the middle of a big 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 the folks was havin' the time of life Sam was Jimmie's wife Over in the corner was a beat up Being by a big fat piano man
Now some of these folks wore expensive Some of had on bobbie socks Everybody was and high At particular Saturday Night 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 my buddy and me, we fell in We hollered, "Let the joy begin" Now we're thinking we could get a place to play But the party was on the way
All of a sudden the went low And everybody lay straight for the front Man, I was so scared I didn't where to go I stood right 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 was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin' The bottles was flyin', and the was smellin' Way up all the noise we made Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, is a raid"
I didn't know we was the law But somebody over and hit me on the jaw had us blocked off from front to back 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 break of It was rockin', it was I seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
I knew I could get if I had a chance But I was shakin' I had that St. Vitus dance I tried to in under a bath tab When a said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"
Now they got us out of like a house on fire They put us all in the Maria might have missed a pitiful few But got both me and my buddy too
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
we headed for jail in a dazed condition They booked each one of us on My came down and went my bail And finally got me outta that rotten
If you ever want to get a fist in eye Just mention a Night 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 scufflin' and 'til the break of dawn
