Lyrics Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan
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',
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
We
hollered,
"Let
the
joy
begin"
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
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
was
jumpin'
and
screamin'
and
yellin'
(ahhh)
The
bottles
was
flyin',
and
the
fish
was
smellin'
And
way
up
above,
all
the
noise
they
made
Somebody
said,
"You
better
get
outta
here,
this
a
raid"
I
didn't
know
we
were
breakin'
the
law
Somebody
reached
up,
clipped
me
on
the
jaw
They
had
us
blocked
off
from
the
front
to
the
back
And
they
were
puttin'
us
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
Then
they
kept
us
in
jail
in
a
dazed
condition
They
booked
each
one
of
us
on
suspicion
My
chick
came
down
and
went
my
bail
And
finally
got
me
outta
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
you
ever
mention
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
