lirik lagu ken washington – saturday night fish fry
[verse 1]
now if you ever been down to new orleans
then you can understand just a~what i mean
all through the week it’s quiet as a mouse
but on sat~rday night they go from house to house
you don’t have to pay any admission
if you’re a cook, a waiter or a good musician
so if you happen to be passin’ by
stoppin’ at the sat~rday night fish fry
[chorus]
it was a~rockin’, it was a~rockin’
you never seen such scufflin’
and a~shufflin’ ’til the break of dawn
[verse 2]
now my buddy and me, was on the main stem
foolin’ around, just me and him
we decided we could use a little something to eat
so we went to a house on rampart street
we knocked on the door and it opened with ease
and a lush little miss said “come in, please”
before we could even bat an eye
we were right in the middle of a big fish fry!
[chorus]
it was a~rockin’, it was a~rockin’
you never seen such scufflin’
and a~shufflin’ ’til the break of dawn
[verse 3]
now my buddy and me, we settled right in
we hollered, “let the joy begin!”
we figured this was a good place to play
’cause the party was already under way
when all of a sudden the lights went low
and everybody made straight for the front door
i was so scared, didn’t know where to go
i stood right there then i fell on the floor!
[chorus]
it was a~rockin’, it was a~rockin’
you never seen such scufflin’
and a~shufflin’ ’til the break of dawn
[verse 4]
now the women were screamin’, jumpin’ and yellin’
the bottles was flyin’, the fish was smellin’
and way up above all the noise they made
somebody hollered, “better get out of here, this is a raid”
i didn’t know we were breakin’ the law
somebody reached up and hit me on my jaw
they had us blocked off from the front to the back
and they put him in the wagon like potato sacks!
[chorus]
it was a~rockin’, it was a~rockin’
you never seen such scufflin’
and a~shufflin’ ’til the break of dawn
[verse 5]
i knew i could get away if i had a chance
but i was shakin’ like i had the st. vitus dance
now i tried to crawl under the bathtub
when a policeman said, “where you goin’ there, bub?”
now they got us out of there like a house afire
put us all in that black maria
now, they might have missed a pitiful few
but they got both me and my buddy too
[chorus]
it was a~rockin’, it was a~rockin’
you never seen such scufflin’
and a~shufflin’ ’til the break of dawn
[verse 6]
we headed for jail in a dazed condition
they booked each one of us on suspicion
now my chick came down and went my bail
finally got me out of that rotten jail
now if you ever want to get a fist in your eye
just mention a sat~rday night fish fry
i don’t care how many fish in the sea
don’t ever mention a fish to me!
[chorus]
it was a~rockin’, it was a~rockin’
you never seen such scufflin’
and a~shufflin’ ’til the break of dawn
