a mouse [00:13.55]But on Saturday night they go from house to house [00:16.06] [00:16.61]You don't have to pay the usual admission [00:18.52] [00:19.05]If you're a cook a waiter or a good musician [00:21.31] [00:22.05]So if you happen to be just passin' by [00:24.19] [00:24.82]Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry [00:27.32]It was rockin' it was rockin' [00:30.66] [00:32.79]You never seen such

to a house on rampart street [01:00.18] [01:00.79]We knocked on the door and it opened up with ease [01:03.33]And a lush little miss said come in please [01:05.65] [01:06.31]And before we could even bat an eye [01:08.28] [01:08.78]We were right in the middle of a big fish fry [01:11.54]It was rockin' it was rockin' [01:14.81] [01:17.00]You never seen such scufflin' [01:18.43]And shufflin' 'til

folks was havin' the time of their life [01:36.23]And Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife [01:38.77] [01:39.44]Over in the corner was a beat up grand [01:41.89]Being played by a big fat piano man [01:43.95] [01:44.48]Now some of the chicks wore expensive frocks [01:47.01] [01:47.60]Some of them had on bobbie socks [01:49.43] [01:50.30]But everybody was nice and high [01:52.66]At this particular Saturday

joy begin [02:22.97]Now we figured this was a good place to play [02:25.55]Cause the party was already underway [02:27.88] [02:28.69]But all of the sudden the lights went low [02:30.79] [02:31.44]And everybody made straight for the front door [02:34.03]Man I was so scared I didn't know where to go [02:36.75]I stood right there then I fell on the floor [02:39.30]It was rockin' it was rockin'

'til the break of dawn [03:42.05] [03:44.30]I knew I could get away if I had a chance [03:47.10]But I was shakin' like I had the St. Vitus dance [03:49.89]Now I tried to crawl in under a bath tab [03:52.52]When a policeman said where are you goin' there bub [03:55.51]Now they got us out of there like a house on fire [03:57.75] [03:58.31]And put us all in that black Mariah [04:00.27]
