| Now if you’ve ever been down to New Orleans
|
| Then you can understand just what I mean
|
| All thru 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, 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 up with ease
|
| And a lush little miss said, «come in, please»
|
| And before we could even bat an eye
|
| We were right in the middle of a big 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 the folks was havin' the time of their life
|
| And Sam was jivin' Jimmie’s wife
|
| Over in the corner was a beat up grand
|
| Being played by a big fat piano man
|
| Some of the chicks wore expensive frocks
|
| Some of them had on Bobbie socks
|
| But everybody was nice and high
|
| At this particular 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 the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin' |
