Intro Gb A#7 Eb7 Ab7 Db
[Verse]
Db Eb7
Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans
Ab7 Db Eb7 Db
Then you can understand just what I mean
Gb7
All through the week it's quiet as a mouse
Db7 Gbmaj6 Db7
And on Saturday night they go from house to house
Eb7
You don't have to pay the usual admission
Db7 Eb7
If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician
Db7 Gb7
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Db7 Gb7 Db7
Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry
[Chorus]
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Gb7 Ab7 Db
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of daaaaaawn
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Eb7 Ab7 Db7
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
Eb7
Now my buddy and me was on the main stem
Db7 Eb7 Ab7
Foolin' around just me and him
Db7 Gb7
We decided we could use a little something to eat
Db Gb Db
So we went to a house on Rampart Street
Eb7
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
Db Eb Ab
And a lush little Miss said, "Come in, please"
Db7 Gb7
Before we could even bat an eye
Db7 Gb7 Db7
We were right in the middle of a big fish fry
[Chorus]
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Gb7 Ab7 Db
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of daaaaaawn
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Eb7 Ab7 Db7
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
[Verse]
Eb7 Ab7
Now the folks was havin' the time of their life
Db Ab
Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife
Db7 Gb7
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Db Eb Db
Being played by a big fat piano man
Eb7
Now some of these folks wore expensive frocks
Db7 Ab7
Some of them had on bobbie socks
Db7 Gb7
Everybody was nice and high
Db7
At particular Saturday Night Fish Fry
[Chorus]
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Gb7 Ab7 Db
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of daaaaaawn
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Eb7 Ab7 Db7
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
[Verse]
Gb7
Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
Db Eb7 Db
The bottles was flyin', and the fish was smellin'
Gb7
Way up above all the noise we made
Ab7 Gb Db
Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, this is a raid"
Eb7
I didn't know we was breaking the law
Ab7 Db7 Eb7 Db7
But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
Gb7 Ab7
They had us blocked off from front to back
Db7 Gb Db7
They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack
[Chorus]
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Gb7 Ab7 Db
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of daaaaaawn
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Eb7 Ab7 Db7
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
[Verse]
Eb7
I knew I could get away if I had a chance
Db7 Eb7
But I was shakin' like I had that St. Vitus dance
Db7 Gb7
I tried to crawl in under a bath tab
Db Gb Db
When a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"
Db7 Eb7
Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
Db Eb7
They put us all in the black Maria
Db7 Gb7
Now they might have missed a pitiful few
Ab Db
But they got both me and my buddy too
[Chorus]
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Gb7 Ab7 Db
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of daaaaaawn
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Eb7 Ab7 Db7
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
[Verse]
Gb7 Ab
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
Db Eb7
They booked each one of us on suspicion
Gb7
Now by chick came down and went my bail
Ab Gb Db
And finally got me outta that rotten jail
Eb7
If you ever want to get a fist in your eye
Ab7 Db Eb7 Ab7
Just mention a Saturday Night Fish Fry
Db7 Gb7
I don't care how many fish in the sea
Ab N.F (Db Db)
But don't ever mention a fish to me
[Chorus]
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Gb7 Ab7 Db
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of daaaaaawn
Gb7 Db7
It was rockin', it was rockin'
Eb7 Ab7 Db7
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
[Outro]
