Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan (路易斯·乔丹)/Johnny Otis/Shuggie Otis[00:00:00]
Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans[00:00:05]
Then you can understand just what I mean[00:00:08]
Now all through the week it's quiet as a mouse[00:00:11]
But on Saturday night they go from house to house[00:00:13]
You don't have to pay the usual admission[00:00:16]
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician[00:00:19]
So if you happen to be just passin' by[00:00:21]
Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry[00:00:24]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:00:27]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:00:32]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:00:34]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:00:37]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:00:43]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:00:44]
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem[00:00:48]
Foolin' around just me and him[00:00:51]
We decided we could use a little something to eat[00:00:54]
So we went to a house on rampart street[00:00:56]
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease[00:00:59]
And a lush little miss said come in please[00:01:01]
And before we could even bat an eye[00:01:05]
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry[00:01:07]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:10]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:01:15]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:01:16]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:20]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:01:25]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:01:27]
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life[00:01:31]
And Sam was jivin' Jimmy's wife and[00:01:33]
Over in the corner was a beat up grand[00:01:36]
Being played by a big fat piano man[00:01:39]
Now some of the chicks wore expensive frocks[00:01:42]
Some of them had on Bobbie socks[00:01:44]
But everybody was nice and high[00:01:47]
At this particular Saturday night fish fry[00:01:50]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:52]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:01:57]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:01:59]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:03]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:08]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:09]
Now my buddy and me we fell right in[00:02:13]
And we hollered let the joy begin[00:02:16]
Now we figured this was a good place to play[00:02:19]
Cause the party was already underway[00:02:21]
But all of the sudden the lights went low[00:02:24]
And everybody made straight for the front door[00:02:27]
Man I was so scared I didn't know where to go[00:02:29]
I stood right there then I fell on the floor[00:02:31]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:35]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:40]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:41]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:45]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:50]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:52]
Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'[00:02:56]
The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin'[00:02:58]
And way above all the noise we made[00:03:01]
Somebody hollered better get outta here this is a raid[00:03:04]
I didn't know we were breaking the law but[00:03:07]
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw[00:03:09]
Now they had us blocked off from front to back[00:03:11]
And they were puttin' 'em in the wagon like potato sacks[00:03:14]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:03:17]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:03:22]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:03:24]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:03:27]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:03:33]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:03:34]
I knew I could get away if I had a chance[00:03:38]
But I was shakin' like I had the st Vitus dance[00:03:41]
Now I tried to crawl in under a bath tab[00:03:44]
When a policeman said where are you goin' there bub[00:03:46]
Now they got us out of there like a house on fire[00:03:49]
And put us all in the black mariah[00:03:52]
Now they might have missed a pitiful few[00:03:55]
But they got both me and my buddy too[00:03:57]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:00]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:05]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:06]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:10]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:15]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:17]
We headed for jail in a dazed condition[00:04:21]
They booked each one of us on suspicion[00:04:24]
Now my chick came down and with my bail[00:04:26]
And finally got me outta that rotten jail[00:04:29]
Now if you ever want to get a fist in your eye[00:04:32]
Just mention a Saturday night fish fry[00:04:34]
I don't care how many fish in the sea[00:04:37]
But don't ever mention a fish to me[00:04:39]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:42]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:47]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:49]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:53]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:58]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:59]
Give me one of them there fish sandwiches[00:05:09]
Get away from there boy[00:05:11]
Yowza[00:05:12]
