If you've ever been down to New Orleans

Then you can understand just what I mean

All through the week it's as quiet as a mouse

But on Saturday night they go from house to house



You don't have to pay when you only mention

If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician

If you just happen to be passing by

Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



Now my buddy and me was on the bandstand

Fooling around, just me and him

We decided we could use something to eat

So we went to a house on Rampart Street



We knocked on the door and it opened with ease

A light-skinned miss said 'Come in, please'

Before we could even bat an eye

We was right in the middle of a big fish fry



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yelling

The bottles were flying and the fish were smelling

From way up above all the noise they made

Somebody hollered 'Better get outta here, this is a raid'



I didn't know we were breaking the law

Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw

They had locked up from the front and the back

Putting them in the wagon like potato sacks



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



I knew I could away if I had the chance

But I was shaking like I had St. Vitus' Dance

I tried to crawl under a bathtub

A policeman said 'Hey, now where you going, bud?'



They got us outta there like a house on fire

And put us all in that black mariah

They might of missed one or two

But they got both me and my buddy too



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'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 she went my bail

Finally got me outta that rotten jail



If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eye

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 rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn



It was rocking, it was rocking

You never seen such scuffling and shuffling

'Til the break of dawn
