- Verse:
- Next Friday night you're
all invited to dance from eight till five,
- All the fishes still alive
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.
-
- Chorus:
- 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!
- Finn an haddie lead the
eel, Through an Irish reel,
- The Catfish is a dancing
man, But he can't can can like a sardine can!
- Tunas "truckin'"
left and right, Minnies moochin' what a night!
- There won't be a hook in
sight at the Codfish Ball.
