Lyrics Canned Heat – 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

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 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’ ’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’ Jimmie’s wife

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’
