Saturday Night Fish Fry Lyrics - Rock N Roll - Louis Jordan

Now if you 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' Jimmie'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 bobby 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 under way 

But all of a 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 were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin' 

The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin' 

And way up above all the noise they made 

Somebody hollered, "Better get out of here, this is a raid!" 

I didn't know we was breakin' the law 

But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw 

They had us blocked off from the front to the back 

And they was 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 under a bathtub 

When the policeman said, "Where you goin' there, bub?" 

Now they got us out of there like a house afire 

Put us all in that Black Maria 

Now, they might have missed a pitiful few 

But they got poor 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 went for my bail 

And finally got me out of 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
