[Bb]
[G]Now if you

[Verse 1]
[G]
ever been [Bb]down to [Am]New Orleans
[Ab]Then [G]you can under[Bb]stand
just [Am]what I mean
[D]Now [G]all through the week
it's [C]quiet as a mouse
[Cm]But on Satur[D]day night
[C]they go fro[G]m house to house
You don't have to [Bb]pay the
[A]usual admission
[Adim]If you'r[Ab]e a good cook[G] or a waiter[Bb]
or a [Am]good musician
[D]So if [G]you happen to be[F]
just [C]passin' [Cm]by
[Ebdim]Stop pin'[D] at the Satu[C]rday
[G]Night [C]Fish Fry
[G]It was a [C]rockin', it was a rockin'
[G]You'd [C]nev[G]er [C]seen s[D]uch a couple
that shuffled to the [C]break of [G]dawn
[C]It was a rockin', it was a rockin'
[G]You[C]'d never seen such a couple
[D]that shuffled [C]to the break of [G]dawn
Now, my buddy and [Bb]me was
[A]on the main [Adim]stem
[G]Foolin' [Bb]around just [Am]me and[D] him
We de[G]cided we could use
[F]a little [C]somethin' to eat
[Ebdim]So we went to a[D] house[C]
on [G]Rampaw Street
We knocked on the [Bb]door
and it opene[C]d w[Adim]ith ease
[Cm]An al le[G]rgic little miss[Bb] said, call [Am]me please
[D]Bef[G]ore we could even bat[C] an eye[Cm]
We [Eb]was r[D]ight in the [C]middle of a [G]big [C]fish fry
It [G]was [C]rockin'
It was [G]rockin'
You'd [C]never [A]seen such couplin'
[D]and shufflin' to [C]the
break of [G]dawn[C][G]
He [C]was rockin'
He was rockin'
You'd never seen such couplin'
[D]and shufflin' [C]to the break of [G]dawn[C]
Now [G]my buddy and [Bb]me,
we fell [A]right [Ab]in
And we [G]hollered, [Bb]let the joy begin[Am]
[Dsus4]Now we fi[D]gur[G]ed this was
[F]a good p[C]lace to p[Cm]lay
Cause the [D]party was [C]already un[G]derway
But all of a sud[Bb]den the lights[A] went low
[Ab]And ever[G]ybody made[Bb] straight
for [C]the front door
[D]Man, I [G]was so scared
I didn't [C]know where to go
[Cm]I stoo[Eb]d righ[D]t there and [C]fell on th[G]e floor
[C]It [G]was a [C]rockin'
It was a [G]rockin'
You'd never seen [C]such a couple
dance [G]shuffle [C]to the break of [G]dawn
[C]It was a rockin'
It was a [G]rockin'
You've [D]never [A]seen [C]such couple
[D]as jump to the [C]break of [G]dawn
[C]Now the [G]women was [Bb]screamin'
and [C]jumpin' [A]and yellin'
[G]The bottles was [Bb]flyin'
and the [A]fish was [D]smellin'
And [G]way up [F]above all the [C]noise
they [Cm]made somebody [D]holler
Better [C]get outta here this is a rake
Now [G]I didn't know w[Bb]e
were [Am]breakin' the law
[Ab]But some[Cm]body reach[G]ed over[Bb]
and hit me [Am]on the jaw
[D]They had[G] us blocked off
[F]from the [C]front to the [Cm]back
And they [D]put us in the [C]wagon
like potato sacks
It was rockin', it was [G]rockin'
[C]You[Dsus4]'d never [C]seen s[D]uch c[C]ouple[D]
that shuffled to the [C]break of [G]dawn
[C]It was rockin', it was rockin'
You'd never seen such couple
[D]that shuffled [C]to the break of dawn
I knew I could [G]get [Bb]away if I [A]had a chance
[Ab]But I wa[C]s shakin' like I
[Bb]had the same b[C]ody stance
[D]Now I t[G]ried to crawl und[F]er a bat[C]htub
[Cm]When the po[D]licemen [C]said,
Where you goin' [G]there, bub?
Yeah, they got us out of there
[Bb]like a [A]house of five
[Ab]And put [G]us all in th[Bb]at black [Am]Mirai
[D]Now, if [G]they might have missed us,
[C]it'll bug you
[Eb]But they g[G]ot both [C]me and my [G]buddy, too
It was [C]rockin'
It [D]was [G]rockin'
You never [C]seen [D]such
couplin' and shufflin'
Till the [C]break of [Dsus4]dawn[D][Dsus4][G]
[C]It was rockin'
It was rockin',
[G]we'd [C]never seen such [D]couple dance
up un[C]til the break of [G]dawn.[C]
We were [G]headed for [Bb]jail in
[A]today's condition,
[Adim]they boo[Ab]ked each[G]
[Bb]one of us [D]on suspicion.
Now my [G]chick came down
[F]and [C]went my [Cm]bail,
and [D]finally got me [C]out of that [G]rotten jail.
[C]Now if you ever [Bb]wan na get
a [A]fist in your eye[Ab],
just men[G]tion a [Bb]Saturday night fish fry.
[D]I d[G]on't care how many
[C]fish in the sea,
[Ebdim]but don't eve[D]r mention a fish to me.
It was a [C]rockin', it was a [G]rockin',
you never [C]seen such [D]confidence
shoveled to the [C]break of [G]dawn.[G]
[C]It was a [C]rockin', it was a rockin',
[G]you [G]nev[C]er seen such confidence
shoveled to the break of [C]dawn.[G]
[G]You
