Now, if you've 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'... {yay yay}
It was rockin'... {mmm}
You never see such scufflin'
and shovin' till the break of dawn...
It was rockin'... {yeah}
It was rockin'... {yeah}
You never see such scufflin'
and shovin' till the break of dawn...

Now, me and my buddy was on the main stem~...
Foolin' 'round, just me and him
We decided we could use
a little something to eat
So we went to a house on Burbon Street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
A cute little chick 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'... {yay yay}
It was rockin'... {mmm}
You never see such scufflin'
and shovin' till the break of dawn...
It was rockin'... {yeah}
It was rockin'... {yeah}
You never see such scufflin'
and shovin' till the break of dawn...

Now the folks were havin' the time of their life..
Sam was dancin with Jimmy's wife..
And over in the corner was a beatup grand..
Being played by a big, fat piano man!..
Some of the chicks wore expensive frocks..
Some of them had on bobby socks..
If you happen to be just passing by
Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry!...

It was rockin'... {yay yay}
It was rockin'... {mmm}
You never see such scufflin'
and shovin' till the break of dawn...
