lyrics

Shovelling guts ankle deep in blood
Trying to keep from slipping in the killing beds
Working up an appetite

Hit 'em on the head, chain 'em up, bleed 'em out
Gotta get into the rhythm of the beef crew
There's another 400 head before the whistle blows
Is it any wonder that I'm thinking 'bout dinner tonight?

'Cause it's Friday, you know what it means
To a God-fearing man, sweeping spleens
I won't be eating no franks and beans
'Cause it's Friday I'm devout

Friday Fish Fry
Friday Fish Fry
Don't let no meat pass your lips
'Cause it's Friday

Chuck another downer in the rendering pot
Boil it up scoop the goop from the top
What else you gonna fry it in?

Pump out the dregs, dry 'em out, grind 'em up
Tie a sponge over your mouth and get shovelling
All the people on the trolleycar will say "What's that smell?"
But I'll tell you why I'm sitting here salivating

'Cause it's Friday, you know what it means
To a God-fearing man who smells obscene
I won't be eating no lamb tajine
'Cause it's Friday I'm devout

Friday Fish Fry
Friday Fish Fry
Don't let no meat pass your lips
'Cause it's Friday - what'd I say?

Friday Fish Fry
Friday Fish Fry
Don't let no meat pass your lips
'Cause it's Friday
