Johnny Rivers - Sea Cruise Lyrics






Now 'Old Man Rhythm' is in my shoes
It's no use sittin' here singin' the blues
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you 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 you let me take you on a sea cruise

I feel like jumpin', and, honey, won't you join me please? Yeah
Well, I don't like beggin', but now I'm gonna bend a knee, oh yeah

Well, I gotta get a-movin', honey, I ain't lyin'
My heart is beating the rhythm, and it's right on time
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you 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 you let me take you on a sea cruise

Well, I gotta get a-rockin', get my hat off the rack
I gotta boogie-woogie like a knot's in my back
So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose
Won't you 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 you let me take you on a sea cruise

I feel like jumpin', and, honey, won't you join me please? Yeah
Well, I don't like beggin', but now I'm gonna bend a knee, oh yeah.

Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby
Oo-wee, oo-wee, baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
And I'm goin', and I'm goin', and I'm goin' on a sea sea cruise
Let me take you on a sea cruise, na na

  13. b.... ....

    I like this version SO much better than Frankie Ford's though is was popular.  Ford's is good, but really, the noises from the boat completely overpower the vocals and everything else in Ford's version, as if someone had 5 large burritos followed by a vodka and prune juice.

    Sea Cruise? Isn't that a Scientology thing?

  19. C.... C....

    When he starts singing, he is in the key of C, the chord progression is back in forth between C & G and the bridge goes to F........gotta do this one live in my oldies show!

  20. L.... ....

    Can someone tell me KEY this version is in?  Thanks in advance!!

    L.... ....

    @LARRYCORY1 Key of C, but it is a I - V- VI progression, so It goes C to G, and then to F.

  21. h.... ....

    This was the warm-up to Johnny's revival of "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" one year later in 1972.  This record, though, is just as good -- and deserved to be just as big a hit -- even though it climbed no highe than #84.

    h.... ....

    BWF even sounds almost like a slower version of Sea Cruise.

    h.... ....

    Both are covers that were written by Huey piano smith, so yes that's why they sound the same and have 1 similar lyric line. Huey's style was very distinct.

  22. s.... ....

    On this day in 1959 {March 21st} Frankie Ford performed "Sea Cruise" on the ABC-TV program 'Dick Clark's Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show'...
    One month earlier on February 9th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #14 and spent 17 weeks on the Top 100...
    Huey 'Piano' Smith {who composed the song} and the Clowns played at the record...
    Twelve years later in 1971 it was covered by Johnny Rivers; his version reached #84 on the Top 100...
    R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...

  23. b.... ....

    ¡¡Si habre bailado a mas no poder!!!

  24. D.... B....

    Love the horn arrangement! I'm a new slide trombone player, and I've been looking for tracks to play too. This one is a must!
