At the Codfish Ball

Next Friday night You're all invicet to dance from eight to three All the fishes in the sea are having a ball It's 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 Jellyfish sway to and fro At the Codfish Ball Finnan Haddie leads the eels 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 Snappers tapping What a night! There won't be a hook in sight At the Codfish Ball Octopus and albacore Fifty miles away form shore Tango 'cross the ocean floor At the Codfish Ball Minnows dance the minuet, Barracudas pirouette While the stingray plays his clarinet At the Codfish Ball Scottish salmon form a ring And dance the Highland fling The music's hot So the lox fox trot And the halibut is the Jitterbug King 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 Jellyfish sway to and fro At the Codfish Ball Finnan Haddie leads the eels 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 Snappers tapping What a night! There won't be a hook in sight At the Codfish Ball At the Codfish Ball At the Codfish Ball!
