For the people all said beware,

you're on a heavenly trip

People all said beware,

beware, you'll scuttle the ship

And the devil'll drag you under

by the fancy tie round your wicked throat

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

sit down, you're rockin' the boat

And as I laughed

at those passengers to heaven

A great big wave came

and washed me overboard

And as I sank and I hollered

"Someone save me!"

That's the moment I woke up

- Thank the Lord

- Thank the Lord

Thank the Lord

And I said to myself sit down,

sit down, you're rockin' the boat

Said to myself sit down,

sit down, you're rockin' the boat

And the devil'll drag you under,

with a soul so heavy you'd never float

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

sit down, you're rockin' the boat

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

you're rockin' the boat

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

you're rockin' the boat

- Sit down

- You're rockin'

The boat

Now, Brother Brannigan,

what can we do for you?

Maybe you would like to testify?

I'll do my testifying in court,

where I will testify that you ran a

crap game here in the mission last night.

A crap game? In the mission?

Miss Sarah, you were standing right there

when they ran out. You saw them.

Aren't these the men?

You must be mistaken, Lieutenant.

I never saw these gentlemen

before in my life.

There's a right broad.

And now if you'll excuse us, Lieutenant,

we'd like to go on with our meeting.

Tell me somethin'.

Is my name Brannigan?

- When last seen.

- Thanks.

I was beginnin' to wonder.

On behalf of everybody concerned,

thanks, Miss Sarah.

Also at this time I would like

to personally make a confession.

General,

we did shoot crap here last night,

but unbeknownst to anybody

connected with the mission.

And for this we're all sorry.

Ain't we, boys?

I'm really sorry.

I did another terrible thing.

I bet a certain guy that he could not take

a certain doll away with him

on a trip to Havana.

I know this I should not have done,

although it did not do no harm because...

Well, I won the bet.

- You won the bet?

- Sure.

The guy told me

he did not take the doll away.

And for this I feel much better.

Gentlemen, we will now sing number 244

in your songbook - "Follow the Fold".

You will find it on page 27.

Follow the fold and stray no more

Stray no more, stray no more

Put down the bottle

and we'll say no more

Follow, follow the fold

Brothers and sisters, as you know,

traffic is heavy this time of night,

so our ceremony will be brief.

Do you, Sarah Brown, take Sky Masterson

to be your lawful wedded husband?

I do.

Do you, Sky Masterson, take Sarah Brown

to be your lawful wedded wife?

I do.

Do you, Adelaide, take Nathan Detroit

to be your lawful wedded husband?

I do.

Do you, Nathan Detroit, take Miss

Adelaide to be your lawful wedded wife?

- He does.

- He's gotta say it.

I do.

Then, under the authority granted me by

the state, county and city of New York,

I hereby pronounce you men and wives.

When you see a guy

reach for stars in the sky

You can bet that

he's doin' it for some doll

When you spot a John

waiting out in the rain

Chances are he's insane

as only a John can be for a Jane

When you meet a gent

paying all kinds of rent

For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal

Call it sad, call it funny

But it's better than even money

That the guy's only doing it

For some doll
