Old man rhythm is in my shoes

No use t'sittin' and a'singin' the blues

So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

Feel like jumpin' baby won't ya join me please

I don't like beggin' but I'm on bended knee

I got to get t'rockin get my hat off the rack

I got to boogie woogie like a knife in the back

So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

I got to get t'movin' baby I ain't lyin'

My heart is beatin' rhythm and it's right on time

So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

Feel like jumpin' baby won't ya join me please

I don't like beggin' but I'm on bended knee

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Oo-ee, oo-ee baby

Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

*** The original version was sung by songwriter Huey "Piano" Smith, but Ace Records

removed his vocal from the tape and re-dubbed it with that of white singer Frankie

Ford in order to make the song more commercial; Frankie also re-wrote some of the

lyrics to get a co-songwriting credit.
