Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan[00:00:00]
Written by:Jordan/Walsh/Clowney/Kriegsmann/Wood[00:00:02]
Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans[00:00:05]
Then you can understand just what I mean[00:00:08]
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 a waiter or a good musician[00:00:19]
So if you happen to be just passin' by[00:00:22]
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'[00:00:38]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:00:43]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:00:45]
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem[00:00:49]
Foolin' around just me and him[00:00:52]
We decided we could use a little something to eat[00:00:54]
So we went to a house on rampart street[00:00:57]
We knocked on the door and it opened up with ease[00:01:00]
And a lush little miss said come in please[00:01:03]
And before we could even bat an eye[00:01:06]
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry[00:01:08]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:11]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:01:16]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:01:18]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:22]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:01:27]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:01:29]
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life[00:01:33]
And Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife[00:01:36]
Over in the corner was a beat up grand[00:01:39]
Being played by a big fat piano man[00:01:41]
Now some of the chicks wore expensive frocks[00:01:44]
Some of them had on bobbie socks[00:01:47]
But everybody was nice and high[00:01:50]
At this particular Saturday night fish fry[00:01:52]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:55]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:00]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:02]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:06]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:11]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:13]
Now my buddy and me we fell right in[00:02:17]
And we hollered let the joy begin[00:02:20]
Now we figured this was a good place to play[00:02:22]
Cause the party was already underway[00:02:25]
But all of the sudden the lights went low[00:02:28]
And everybody made straight for the front door[00:02:31]
Man I was so scared I didn't know where to go[00:02:34]
I stood right there then I fell on the floor[00:02:36]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:39]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:44]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:46]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:50]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:02:55]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:02:57]
Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'[00:03:00]
The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin'[00:03:04]
And way above all the noise we made[00:03:06]
Somebody hollered better get outta here this is a raid[00:03:09]
I didn't know we were breaking the law but[00:03:12]
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw[00:03:14]
Now they had us blocked off from front to back[00:03:17]
And they were puttin' 'em in the wagon like potato sacks[00:03:19]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:03:22]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:03:27]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:03:29]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:03:33]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:03:38]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:03:40]
I knew I could get away if I had a chance[00:03:44]
But I was shakin' like I had the St. Vitus dance[00:03:47]
Now I tried to crawl in under a bath tab[00:03:49]
When a policeman said where are you goin' there bub[00:03:52]
Now they got us out of there like a house on fire[00:03:55]
And put us all in that black Mariah[00:03:58]
Now they might have missed a pitiful few[00:04:00]
But they got both me and my buddy too[00:04:03]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:06]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:11]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:13]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:17]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:22]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:23]
We headed for jail in a dazed condition[00:04:27]
They booked each one of us on suspicion[00:04:30]
Now my chick came down and with my bail[00:04:33]
And finally got me outta that rotten jail[00:04:35]
Now if you ever want to get a fist in your eye[00:04:38]
Just mention a Saturday night fish fry[00:04:41]
I don't care how many fish in the sea[00:04:44]
But don't ever mention a fish to me[00:04:46]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:49]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:04:54]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:04:56]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:05:00]
You never seen such scufflin'[00:05:05]
And shufflin' 'til the break of dawn[00:05:07]
Give me one of them there fish sandwiches[00:05:16]
Get away from there boy[00:05:18]
Yowza[00:05:19]
