Sit Down, John lyrics
Congress:
Sit down, John! Sit down, John!
For God's sake, John, sit down!
Sit down, John! Sit down, John!
For God's sake, John, sit down!
Someone oughta open up a window!
It's ninety degrees! Have mercy, John, please
It's hot as hell in Philadephia!
Someone oughta open up a window!
Adams:
I say vote yes! Vote yes! Vote for independency!
Congress:
Someone oughta open up a window!
Adams:
I say vote yes!
Congress:
Sit down, John!
Adams:
Vote for independency!
Congress:
Someone oughta open up a window!
No, no, no! Too many flies! Too many flies!
But it's hot as hell in Philadelphia!
Someone oughta open up a window!
Can't we compromise here?
Adams:
Vote yes!
Congress:
No, too many flies here!
Adams:
Vote yes!
Congress:
Oh for God's sake, John, sit down!
Adams:
Oh, good God! Consider yourself lucky that you have John Adams to abuse, for no sane man
would tolerate it!
Congress:
John, you're a bore; we've heard this before
Now for God's sake, John, sit down!
Adams:
I say vote yes!
Congress:
No!
Adams:
Vote yes!
Congress:
No!
Adams:
Vote for independency!
Congress:
Someone oughta open up a window!
Adams:
I say vote yes!
Congress:
Sit down, John!
Congress:
Vote for independency!
Congress:
Will someone shut that man up?
Adams:
Never!
