Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan[00:00:00]
Written by:Louis Thomas Jordan/Ellis Walsh[00:00:02]
Now if you 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[00:00:14]
You don't have to pay the usual admission[00:00:17]
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician[00:00:19]
So if you happen to be just passin' by[00:00:22]
Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry[00:00:25]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:00:27]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:00:33]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:00:38]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:00:44]
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem[00:00:49]
Foolin' around just me and him[00:00:53]
We decided we could use a little something to eat[00:00:55]
So we went to a house on rampart street[00:00:57]
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease[00:01:01]
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' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:01:17]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:01:22]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:01:28]
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life[00:01:33]
And sam was jivin' jimmie's wife[00:01:36]
And over in the corner was a beat up grand[00:01:39]
Being played by a big fat piano man[00:01:42]
Now some of the chicks wore expensive frocks[00:01:44]
Some of them had on bobby 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' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:02:01]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:06]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:02:12]
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 under way[00:02:25]
But all of a 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[00:02:33]
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' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:02:44]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:02:50]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:02:55]
Now the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'[00:03:00]
The bottles was flyin' and the fish was smellin'[00:03:03]
And way up above all the noise they made[00:03:06]
Somebody hollered better get out of here this is a raid[00:03:08]
I didn't know we was breakin' the law[00:03:11]
But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw[00:03:14]
They had us blocked off from the front to the back[00:03:17]
And they was 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' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:03:27]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:03:33]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:03:38]
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[00:03:46]
Now I tried to crawl under a bathtub[00:03:49]
When the policeman said where you goin' there bub[00:03:51]
Now they got us out of there like a house afire[00:03:54]
Put us all in that black maria[00:03:57]
Now they might have missed a pitiful few[00:04:00]
But they got poor me and my buddy too[00:04:02]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:05]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:04:11]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:16]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:04:21]
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 went for my bail[00:04:32]
And finally got me out of 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[00:04:40]
I don't care how many fish in the sea[00:04:43]
But don't ever mention a fish to me[00:04:46]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:48]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:04:54]
It was rockin' it was rockin'[00:04:59]
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin''til the break of dawn[00:05:04]
