VERSE Next Friday night your all invited To dance from eight to five All the fishes still alive Are having a ball Its some affair they’ll all be there From the herring to the whale They’ll turn out to shake a scale In Neptune’s Hall Come along and follow me To the bottom of the sea () We’ll join in the Jamboree At the Codfish Ball Lobsters dancing in a row Shuffle off to Buffalo () Jelly fish sway to and fro at the Codfish Ball BRIDGE Finn-an-haddie leads the eel through an Irish reel The catfish is a dancing man But he can’t can-can like the sardine can Tunas trucking left and right Minnnies mooching what a night () There won’t be a hook in sight at the Codfish Ball Chorus
