I Can't Sit Down - André Previn

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!
