Saturday Night Fish Fry - Pts. 1 & 2

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 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' Jimmy's wife
 And over in the corner was a beat up grand
 Being played by a big fat piano man
 Now, 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 my buddy and me we fell right in
 And we hollered, "Let the joy begin!"
 Now, we figured this was a good place to play
 Cause the party was already underway
 But all of the sudden the lights went low
 And everybody made straight for the front door
 Man, I was so scared I didn't know where to go
 I stood right there 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 was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
 The bottles was flyin', and the fish was smellin'
 And way above all the noise we made
 Somebody hollered, "Better get outta here, this is a raid!"
 I didn't know we were breaking the law but
 Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
 Now they had us blocked off from front to back
 And they were puttin' 'em in the 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 in under a bath tab
 When a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"
 Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
 And put us all in the black Mariah
 Now they might have missed a pitiful few
 But they got both me and my buddy too
 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
 We headed for jail in a dazed condition
 They booked each one of us on suspicion
 Now my chick came down and with my bail
 And finally got me outta that rotten jail
 Now if you ever want to get a fist in your eye
 Just mention a Saturday Night Fish Fry
 I don't care how many fish in the sea
 But 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
 Give me one of them there fish sandwiches
 Get away from there boy
 Yowza!
