Comedy, out at sea
Up on stage sippin’ a cold daiquiri
Telling jokes, rum and cokes
It’s our job to cheer up the tourist folks

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

And Captain 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

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 Break]

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 captain proud

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

(Joke Boat, Joke Boat, ah…)
