At The Cod-fish Ball (Mitchell, Pollack) with Buddy Ebsen, Guy Kibble and Slim Summerville from 'Captain January' 1936 Songtext
von Shirley Temple

Lyrics/Music S.Mitchell/L.Pollack

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
