[Verse 1]

Comedy
Out at sea
Up on stage sippin' a cold daiquiri

Tellin' jokes
Rum and cokes
It's our job to cheer up the tourist folks

[Chorus]

Joke Boat
Settin' sail for the open sea

Joke Boat
Who's funnier? You or me?

Joke Boat
Get the crowd on your side and you might win

If you make 'em laugh, then you'll know that your ship has come in

[Verse 2]

Cap'n Chuck
He's a little stuck
A salty seaman who's a little down on his luck

But he's got a boat
And if she stays afloat
He'll be up there tellin' a funny anecdote

[Chorus]

Joke Boat
Settin' sail for the open sea
Joke Boat
Who's funnier? You or me?

Joke Boat
Get the crowd on your side and you might win

If you make 'em laugh, then you'll know that your ship has come in

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

There's no crew
Guess they got the flu
So grab a dummy, hit the stage, it's all up to you

You gotta sway that crowd
Make 'em laugh out loud
If you do your best, I'm sure that'll make the Cap'n proud!

[Chorus]

Joke Boat
Chuggin' along like a manatee

Joke Boat
Who's funnier? You or me?
Joke Boat
Get the crowd on your side and you might win

If you make 'em laugh, then you'll know that your ship has come in
