Testo Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five

Testo della canzone Saturday Night Fish Fry (Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five), tratta dall'album Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5

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', 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 was on the main stem

Foolin' around, just me and him

We decided we could use a little somethin' 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"

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' '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 folks was havin' the time of their life

And Sam was jivin' Jimmy's wife

And over in the corner was a beat-up grand

Bein' played by a big fat piano man

Now, 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' '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

And we hollered, "Let the joy begin"

Now, we figured this was a good place to play

'Cause the party was already underway

But all of a sudden, the lights went low

And everybody made straight for the front door

Man, 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

It was rockin', it was rockin'

You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Now, the women were screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'

The bottles was flyin' and 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

But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw

They had us blocked off from the front to the back

And they were puttin' 'em 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

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 a bathtub

When the policeman said, "Where you goin' there, bub?"

Now, they got us out of there like a house on fire

Put us all in that black Mariah

Now, they might have missed a pitiful few

But they got both me and my buddy, too

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

We headed for jail in a dazed condition

They booked each one of us on suspicion

Now, my chick came down and went for my bail

And finally got me out of that rotten jail

Now, if you ever wanna 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 ever mention a 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

Give me one of them there fish sandwiches

Get away from there, boy

Yowza
