Codfish Ball - Maria Muldaur

Next Friday night your all invited

To dance from 8 to 5

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

Finn-an-haddie leads the eel

Thought an Irish reel

The Catfish is a dancing man

But he can’t can-can like a sardine can

Tunas trucking left and right

Minnies mooching what a night

There won’t be a hook in site

At the Codfish ball
