Oh I can't sit down
I gotta keep it goin' like the flowin' of a song
Oh I can't sit down
I guess I'll take my honey and her sunny smile along
Today I am gay and I'm free
Oh just a bubblin,' nothin' troublin' me
Oh I can't sit down
I can't sit down
Happy feelin' in my bones a-stealin', no concealin' that it's picnic day!
We are on the way because it's picnic day!
Oh I can't sit down
I gotta keep a jumpin' like the thumpin' of a drum
Oh I can't sit down
I'm full of all commotion like an ocean full of rum!
Today I am gay an' I'm free
Oh just a bubblin' nothin' troubblin' me
Oh I'm goin' to town
I can't sit down
Oh baby I can't sit down
Gotta keep agoin'
Keep agoin' like a song'
