Saturday Night Fish Fry
Now if you've ever been down to new orleans
Then you can understand just what i mean
All thru 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, 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' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
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 up with ease
And a lush little miss 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', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
And sam was jivin' jimmie's wife
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man
Some of the chicks wore expensive frocks
Some of them had on bobbie socks
But everybody was nice and high
At this particular saturday night fish fry
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin'
And shufflin' 'till the break of dawn
Now the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
Fiesta de Pescado del Sábado por la Noche
Ahora, si alguna vez has estado en Nueva Orleans
Entonces puedes entender lo que quiero decir
Durante toda la semana es tranquilo como un ratón
Pero el sábado por la noche van de casa en casa
No tienes que pagar la entrada habitual
Si eres cocinero, camarero o buen músico
Así que si estás de paso
Pasa por la fiesta de pescado del sábado por la noche
Estaba animado, estaba animado
Nunca has visto tanto alboroto
Y bailoteo hasta el amanecer
Estaba animado, estaba animado
Nunca has visto tanto alboroto
Y bailoteo hasta el amanecer
Ahora mi amigo y yo estábamos en la calle principal
Tonteando solo él y yo
Decidimos que podríamos comer algo
Así que fuimos a una casa en la calle Rampart
Tocamos la puerta y se abrió fácilmente
Y una linda señorita dijo, 'pasa, por favor'
Y antes de que pudiéramos parpadear
Estábamos en medio de una gran fiesta de pescado
Estaba animado, estaba animado
Nunca has visto tanto alboroto
Y bailoteo hasta el amanecer
Estaba animado, estaba animado
Nunca has visto tanto alboroto
Y bailoteo hasta el amanecer
Ahora la gente la estaba pasando de maravilla
Y Sam estaba coqueteando con la esposa de Jimmy
En la esquina había un piano desgastado
Siendo tocado por un pianista gordo
Algunas chicas llevaban vestidos caros
Algunas tenían medias hasta la rodilla
Pero todos estaban alegres y contentos
En esta particular fiesta de pescado del sábado por la noche
Estaba animado, estaba animado
Nunca has visto tanto alboroto
Y bailoteo hasta el amanecer
Estaba animado, estaba animado
Nunca has visto tanto alboroto
Y bailoteo hasta el amanecer
Ahora las mujeres estaban gritando, saltando y gritando
