作词 : Louis Jordan/Walsh 作曲 : Louis Jordan/Walsh Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans Then you can understand just what I meanAll through the week it's quiet as a mouse And 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 FryIt 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" 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 Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife Over in the corner was a beat up grand Being played by a big fat piano man Now some of these folks wore expensive frocks Some of them had on bobbie socks Everybody was nice and high At particular Saturday Night Fish FryIt 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 We hollered, "Let the joy begin" Now we're thinking we could get a good place to play But the party was already on the way All of a sudden the lights went low And everybody lay straight for the front door Man, I was so scared I didn't know where to go I stood right there and I fell on the floor It was rockin', it was rockin' I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' I 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' Way up above all the noise we made Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, this is a raid" I didn't know we was breaking the law But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw They had us blocked off from front to back They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack It was rockin', it was rockin' You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn It was rockin', it was rockin' I 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 that St. Vitus dance 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 They put us all in the black MariaThey 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 Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition They booked each one of us on suspicion My chick came down and went my bail And finally got me outta that rotten jail If you ever want to get a fist in your eye Just mention a Saturday Night Fish FryI 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
