Lyrics
Now, if you've ever been down to New Orleans
You can understand just what I mean
All through the week, quiet as a mouse
And on Saturday night they go from house to house
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
Now, some of them chicks wore eight bits and tie
Some of them had on diamond ties
And over in the corner was a beat up grand
It played by a big bad piano man
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
Let me tell ya
Now, me and my buddy, we fell right in
And we hollered "Hell!", let the joy begin
We figured this here was a good place to play
Because the party was already underway
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
Now, remember y'all
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a king or a waiter or a good musician
But if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
You can understand just what I mean
All through the week, quiet as a mouse
And on Saturday night they go from house to house
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
Now, some of them chicks wore eight bits and tie
Some of them had on diamond ties
And over in the corner was a beat up grand
It played by a big bad piano man
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
Let me tell ya
Now, me and my buddy, we fell right in
And we hollered "Hell!", let the joy begin
We figured this here was a good place to play
Because the party was already underway
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
Now, remember y'all
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a king or a waiter or a good musician
But if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the Saturday Night Fish Fry
They were rockin'
They were rockin' in there
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
You never seen such jerkin' and twistin' 'til the break of dawn
