Oh I can't sit down
I gotta 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 am gay an' I'm free
Just a bubblin,' nothin' troubblin' me
Oh I'm goin' to down
Oh I can't sit down

Happy feelin' in my bones astealin'
No concealin' that it's picnic day

Hey there handy, be my sugar candy
Life is dandy, let's be on our way
Because it's picnic day

Oh I can't sit down
I gotta keep a jumpin'
Like de 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 just can't
Sit down

Can't sit down
Can't sit down.
