SITTER’S REEL

This is it. Here it comes. Can’t you feel that beat?

There’s no way out; you’ve got to pay that debt you owe your feet.

You’ve got two knees, a bunch of toes, an ankle and some heel

and that means you’ve got no excuse,

they’re playing the sitter’s reel.

Sitter’s reel, sitter’s reel, everybody can.

Everybody look the other way; I’m not a dancing man.

You don’t have to know the step, you just do what you feel.

The rhythm’s there, but it’s optional; it’s just a sitter’s reel.

So grab a partner, if one ain’t grabbed you; now everything is fair.

But you’re gonna have to do something,

cause they’re taking away the chairs.

Sitter’s reel, sitter’s reel, everybody can.

Everybody look the other way; I’m not a dancing man.

You’ve got a match, you’ve got a wick, you’ve got a lump of wax

If you’d only light that candle you’d be nimble as any Jack.

So drop your hat, chuck your coat, and burn those clumsy shoes

If you won’t do the sitter’s reel,

there ain’t much hope for you.

Sitter’s reel, sitter’s reel, everybody can.

Everybody look the other way; I’m not a dancing man.

Sitter’s reel, sitter’s reel, everybody can.

Everybody look the other way; I’m not a dancing man.
