Oh, I Can’t Sit Down! Lyrics
Oh, I can't sit down!
Got to keep a-goin'
Like the flowin'
Of a song
Oh, I can't sit down!
Guess I'll take my honey
An' her sunny
Smile along
Today I is gay an' I's free
Jes' a bubblin'
Nothin' troublin'
Me
Oh, I'm going to town
I can't sit down!
Happy feelin'
In my bones a-stealin'
No concealin'
Dat it's picnic day
Sho' is dandy
Got de licker handy
Me an' Mandy
We is on de way
'Cause dis is picnic day
Oh, I can't sit down!
Got to keep a-jumpin'
To de thumpin'
Of de drum
Oh, I can't sit down!
Full of locomotion
Like an ocean
Full of rum
Today I is gay an' I's free
Jes' a bubblin'
Nothin' troublin'
Me
Oh, I'm going to town
I can't, jes' can't sit down!
