歌词
Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
Now all through the week, it's quiet as a mouse
But on Saturday night, they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem
Foolin' around just me and him
We decided we could use a little something to eat
So we went to a house on Rampart Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
And a little large miss said, "Come in here, please"
Before we could even bat an eye
We was right in the middle of a big fish fry
We was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
And Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife
And over in the corner was the beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man
Now some of the chicks wore expensive frocks
And some of them had on bobbie socks
But everybody was nice and high
At this particular Saturday Night Fish Fry
They was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me, we fell right in
Then we hollered, "Let the jar begin!"
Now we figured this was a good place to play
Goes the party, it was already under way
But all of a sudden the lights, they just went real low
And everybody head straight for the front door
Then I was so scared I didn't know where to go
I stood right there and then I fell on the floor
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin'
And way up above all the noise they made
Somebody hollered, "Better get out of here, there's a raid"
I didn't know we were breakin' the law
But somebody reached up and hit me right on the jaw
They had us blocked off from the front to the back
And they was puttin' 'em in a wagon like potato sacks
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
I knew I could get away if I had a chance
But I was shakin' like I had the St. Vitus dance
Now I tried to crawl under a bathtub
When the policeman hollered, "Where you goin' there, bub?"
Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
Put us all in that Black Maria
Now, they might have missed a pitiful few
But they got poor me and my buddy too
It was rockin', we was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Now we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
Now my chick came down and finally went my bail
And finally got me out of that rotten jail
Now if you ever wanna get a fist in the eye
Just, just mention a Saturday Night Fish Fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
Don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
