Freddy Cannon Sea Cruise Lyrics:
[Sounds of bell ringing and fog horns before intro.]
Old man rhythm is in my shoes,
It's no use a-sittin' an' a-singin' the blues.
So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose,
Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby.
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby.
Oo-wee, oo-wee, 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 now I'm on bended knees.
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've got nothin' to lose,
Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby.
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby.
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby.
Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?
[Instrumental break.]
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've got nothin' to lose,
Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise?.

[SEA CRUISE]
[Written by: Huey "Piano Smith" [1] & (First Name Unknown) Vincent [2]
Performed by: Freddy "Boom Boom [3] " Cannon [4] -1968
Appears on: 45 RPM (Label: We Make Rock'N Roll Records, Promotion Record
[only] #P1604)-1968 [5] .]
[1] Original recorded by singer-songwriter, Huey "Piano" Smith, in 1960.
Ace Records removed Smith's vocals from the tape and re-dubbed it with the
voice of a white singer, Frankie Ford, in order to make the song more
"commercial." Ford also re-wrote some of the lyrics so as to get a
co-songwriting credit.]
[2] Most sources credit only Huey "Piano" Smith, as the composer, however,
I have the original 45RPM from 1968 that lists the composers as,
"Smith-Vincent." Perhaps Mr. Vincent wrote some lyrics for the promotional
copy that Freddy Fender recorded?]
[3] Freddy Cannon was dubbed "Boom Boom" because of his thundering musical
renditions.]
[4] Other covers: Bobby Vee, Sha Na Na, Jerry Lee Lewis, José Feliciano,
Johnny Rivers, Jimmy Buffett, Herman's Hermits, The Hondells, Del Shannon,
Bobby Vess, Peter Tork, et al.]
