"Saturday Night Fish Fry"

"Saturday Night Fish Fry"



Now if you've ever been down to New Orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
All through the week it's quiet as a mouse
And on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay the usual admission
If you're a cook, a waiter or a good musician
So if you happen to be just passin' by
Stop in at the Saturday Night 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 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 with ease
And a lush little Miss said, "Come in, please"
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
Sam was jivin' Jimmie's wife
Over in the corner was a beat up grand
Being played by a big fat piano man

Now some of these folks wore expensive frocks
Some of them had on bobbie socks
Everybody was nice and high
At particular Saturday Night 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 my buddy and me, we fell right in
We hollered, "Let the joy begin"
Now we're thinking we could get a good place to play
But the party was already on the way

All of a sudden the lights went low
And everybody lay straight for the front door
Man, I was so scared I didn't know where to go
I stood right there and I fell on the floor

It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

Now the women was screamin' and jumpin' and yellin'
The bottles was flyin', and the fish was smellin'
Way up above all the noise we made
Somebody hollered, "You better get outta here, this is a raid"

I didn't know we was breaking the law
But somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had us blocked off from front to back
They was puttin' 'em in the wagon like potatoes in a sack

It was rockin', it was rockin'
You never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn
It was rockin', it was rockin'
I never seen such scufflin' and shufflin' 'til the break of dawn

I knew I could get away if I had a chance
But I was shakin' like I had that St. Vitus dance
I tried to crawl in under a bath tab
When a policeman said, "Where are you goin' there, bub?"

Now they got us out of there like a house on fire
They put us all in the black Maria
They might have missed a pitiful few
But they got both me and my buddy too

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

Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and went my bail
And finally got me outta that rotten jail

If you ever want to get a fist in your eye
Just mention a Saturday Night Fish Fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
But don't ever mention a fish to me

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

Well I tried to tell you baby
But it didn't make no sense
Now you've got me baby
Up against the fence
Ain't that a shame shame shame
Shame on you

Shame on you
Ah it's a shame shame shame
Shame the way you do

"Show Me The Money"

"Show Me The Money"



She said she liked to party
She, sure looked good
She said, let me show you what I got
Under my hood
She slid on over
And she, called me honey
She said, before you get a kiss (msss)
You got to show me the money

Show me the money
Don't be talking no trash
Only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

Took my baby out on the town
The other night
Drinking champagne in the
Candlelight
I told the waiter bring another bottle
For my honey
He said, before we pop the cork you got to
Show me the money

Show me the money
Don't be talking trash
Only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

On my way home
I stopped to catch the last call
I could hear the band jamming
The people was having a ball
The owner asked me
If I would sit in
I said, I ain't no dummy
Show me the money

Show me?
You know just what I mean
Don't be talkin' trash
If you want the real deal now
Show me that cold hard cash

Show me the money
Show me the money
Show me the money
Show me the money

The only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

"Sit And Cry (The Blues)"



Oh, I've got no one there for now
Since my baby's love had been done with
Well, I don't know what to do

Well, no one to cry on her sweet name
And my heart is filled with pain

Blues found in my home
Blues found in my soul
I got blues all in my bones

Oh no one to depend on

"Smarter Than I Was"

"Smarter Than I Was"



Wind is howling
I'm all alone
Sitting by the fire
But I can't get warmer
Been 9 cold nights
She ain't coming home

She took my soul to the darker side
But halfway there
I done got wise
9 cold nights
Time to say goodbye
I guess my best
Just wasn't good enough
I may not look it
But I'm smarter than I was

Dogs are barking
In the midnight rain
Thunder and lightning
To know this pain
9 cold nights
But tonight it's gonna change
I guess my best
Just wasn't good enough
I may not look it
But I'm smarter than I was

Burn them memories
Like gasoline
It's time I learned
To wipe it clean
Tonight your mine
No longer haunting me
I guess my best
Just wasn't good enough
I may not look it
But I'm smarter than I was

I may not look it
But I'm much smarter than I was

"Some Kind Of Wonderful"

"Some Kind Of Wonderful"



I don't need a whole lots of money
I don't need a big fine car
I got everything that a man could ever want
I got more than I could ask for

Yeah, yeah
And I don't have to run around
I don't have to stay out all night
'Cause I got a sweet, sweet loving woman
And she knows just how to treat me right

My baby she's all right
My baby she's clean out of sight
Don't you know she's a some kind of wonderful
Yes she is, some kind of wonderful

Now hold it Buddy's gonna tell you one more thing

And when she holds in her arms
She sets my soul on fire
sets my soul on fire
Lord when my baby kisses me people
My heart becomes filled with desire

When she wraps her loving arms around me
Almost drives me out of my mind
I get funny little feelings inside of me
Chills run up and down my spine

My baby she's all right
My baby she's a clean out of sight

Don't you know she's a some kind of wonderful
Yes she is, some kind of wonderful

Now hold it let me tell you one more thing

Tell me is there anybody
That's got a sweet little woman like mine
There's got to be somebody
That's got a sweet little woman like mine

Now tell me
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness
Got to get a witness
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness

I wanna talk about my baby
Some kind of wonderful
Talkin' about my baby
Some kind of wonderful
Talkin' about my baby
Some kind of wonderful
Talkin' about my baby
Some kind of wonderful

She's everything I need
So much more than a man can want
Some kind of wonderful
In her high heeled shoes
