At the Codfish Ball

Next Friday night
 You're all invicet to dance from eight to three
 All the fishes in the sea are having a ball
 It's some affair, they'll all be there
 From the herring to the whale
 They'll turn out to shake a scale
 In Neptune's Hall
 Come along and follow me
 To the bottom of the sea
 We'll join in the jamboree
 At the Codfish Ball
 Lobsters dancing in a row
 Shuffle off to Buffalo
 Jellyfish sway to and fro
 At the Codfish Ball
 Finnan Haddie leads the eels
 Through an Irish reel
 The catfish is a dancing man
 But he can't can-can
 Like the sardine can
 Tunas trucking left and right
 Snappers tapping
 What a night!
 There won't be a hook in sight
 At the Codfish Ball
 Octopus and albacore
 Fifty miles away form shore
 Tango 'cross the ocean floor
 At the Codfish Ball
 Minnows dance the minuet,
 Barracudas pirouette
 While the stingray plays his clarinet
 At the Codfish Ball
 Scottish salmon form a ring
 And dance the Highland fling
 The music's hot
 So the lox fox trot
 And the halibut is the Jitterbug King
 Come along and follow me
 To the bottom of the sea
 We'll join in the jamboree
 At the Codfish Ball
 Lobsters dancing in a row
 Shuffle off to Buffalo
 Jellyfish sway to and fro
 At the Codfish Ball
 Finnan Haddie leads the eels
 Through an Irish reel
 The catfish is a dancing man
 But he can't can-can
 Like the sardine can
 Tunas trucking left and right
 Snappers tapping
 What a night!
 There won't be a hook in sight
 At the Codfish Ball
 At the Codfish Ball
 At the Codfish Ball!
