Verse:
Next Fri -day night you're all in -vi -ted to dance from eight till five,
All the fish -es still a -live are hav -ing a ball.
It's some af -fair, they'll all be there from the Her -ring to the Whale,
They'll turn out to shake a scale, in Nep -tune's Hall.
 
Chorus:
Come a -long and fol -low me to the bot -tom of the sea,
We'll join in the jam -bo -ree At The Cod -fish Ball!
Lob -sters dan -cing in a row Shuf -fle off to Buf -fa -lo,
Jel -ly fish sway to and fro at the Cod -fish Ball!
Fin -nan -had -die lead the eel Through an I -rish reel,
The Cat -fish is a dan -cing man, but he can't can can like a sar -dine can!
Tu -nas "truck -in'" left and right Min -nies mooch -in' what a night!
There won't be a hook in sight at the Cod -fish Ball.
