Sit Down Songtext
von Harry Belfonte

Oh, sit down, please sit down
Sit down, hey sit down
Mom, sit down, sit down there
Please sit down
Will you please sit yourself down?
Hey sit down

(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don't you sit down?) Oh, I can′t sit down
Because I just got to heaven, I will look around

(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
Because I just got to heaven, I will look around

Who′s that yonder dressed in white? (Yes, Lord)
Looks like the children of the Israelites (yes, yes, yes, my Lord)


(Why don't you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can′t sit down
(Why don't you sit down?) Oh, I can′t sit down
Because I just got to heaven, I will look around

(Who's that yonder dressed in blue?) A well it looks like my brother he′s a coming through
(Who's that yonder dressed in black?) That′s my preacher
And that hypocrite's a turning back (oh, oh, oh)

(Why don't you sit down?) Oh, I can′t sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
Because I just got to heaven, I will look around, oh

(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Mmm I can't sit down
(Why don't you sit down?) Oh, I can′t sit down
Because I just got to heaven, I will look around

(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I can't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) Oh, I won't sit down
(Why don′t you sit down?) I said I'll never sit down
Because I just got to heaven, I will look around
I just got to heaven, I will look around
I just got to heaven, I will look around
