Our anthem for our time at the islands...
SATURDAY NIGHT FISH FRY(Jordan/Walsh)(Anglo-Pic Music Co.Ltd.)
If you've ever been down to New OrleansThen you can understand just what I meanAll through the week it's as quiet as a mouseBut on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay when you only mentionIf you're a cook or a waiter or a good musicianIf you just happen to be passing byStop in at the Saturday night fish fry
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the bandstandFooling around, just me and himWe decided we could use something to eatSo we went to a house on Rampart Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with easeA light-skinned miss said 'Come in, please'Before we could even bat an eyeWe was right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yellingThe bottles were flying and the fish were smellingFrom way up above all the noise they madeSomebody hollered 'Better get outta here, this is a raid'
I didn't know we were breaking the lawSomebody reached over and hit me on the jawThey had locked up from the front and the backPutting them in the wagon like potato sacks
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
I knew I could away if I had the chanceBut I was shaking like I had St. Vitus' DanceI tried to crawl under a bathtubA policeman said 'Hey, now where you going, bud?'
They got us outta there like a house on fireAnd put us all in that black mariahThey might of missed one or twoBut they got both me and my buddy too
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed conditionThey booked each one of us on suspicionMy chick came down and she went my bailFinally got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eyeJust mention a Saturday night fish fryI don't care how many fish in the seaDon't ever mention a fish to me
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
You don't have to pay when you only mentionIf you're a cook or a waiter or a good musicianIf you just happen to be passing byStop in at the Saturday night fish fry
It was rocking, it was rockingYou never seen such scuffling and shuffling'Til the break of dawn
