In the Same Boat Completed Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Curtains

Curtains (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2006

[CIOFFI, spoken]
Folks, the answer's been staring us in the face all along! Aaron, you wrote all three versions of "In the Same Boat" to fit the same orchestra parts, right?
[AARON, spoken]
Right
[CIOFFI, spoken]
Then if all three songs fit the same arrangement, they must all fit with each other! That's what will give this number the kick in the derriere it's been needing. The whole company singing three different songs at the same time — it'll make "Fugue for Tinhorns" sound like "Frere Jacques"!
[BELLING, spoken]
But what about the murders?
[CIOFFI, spoken]
Oh, will you forget about the murders for a second! I want to run this now! We'll have Rob Hood and the ladies trying to reach the steamboat to Wichita before the farmers lose their land. Everybody on board with that?
[AARON, spoken]
Aye aye, captain!
[CIOFFI, spoken]
That's Lieutenant. It's just Georgia at the top. Sasha?
(SASHA sounds a note)
Start it off slow:
[GEORGIA]
In the same boat, on the same sea
Shakin' inside as the tide keeps risin'
Nary a ship, nary a sail
Nary a soul on the whole horizon...
[CIOFFI, spoken]
Here come the three pals paddling up the rapids!
[BOBBY, RANDY, and HARV]
Here we are, my shipmates and me
Lost on a windy sea
[BOBBY]
All the planks are springing a leak
[RANDY]
We'd like to bail
[HARV]
But we forgot the pail
[BOBBY, RANDY, and HARV]
And we regret to say our compass is gone
But somehow, we still sail on
[BOBBY & HARV]
Because two heads
[RANDY, spoken]
Three heads!
[BOBBY & HARV]
Are best
[BOBBY, RANDY, and HARV]
As some fella wrote
And what the heck, we're in the same...
[CIOFFI, spoken]
And heading down the river come the damsels in distress!
[GEORGIA, NIKI, and BAMBI]
Tattered and torn
Weary and worn
Feelin' forlorn that we look untidy
Chewin' our nails
Prayin' that whales
Aren't allowed to eat meat on Friday
Still, we are not discouraged
Due to the ancient quote
That you're likely to win
Take it all on the chin
When you're in the same boat!
[CIOFFI, spoken]
But the waves are comin' on fast, third song now!
[GEORGIA, NIKI, BAMBI, MERMAIDS & RIVERBOAT MEN]
The sea's unusually rough
The going's terribly tough
As if that wasn't enough
They've lost an oar
They find it all they can do to calm the craft
Furthermore, little chum, they're so dumb
That they don't know their fore from their aft!
[CIOFFI, spoken]
It's the high-stepping riverboat men from the shore to the rescue!
[GEORGIA, NIKI, BAMBI, HARV, BOBBY, RANDY, MERMAIDS & RIVERBOAT MEN]
The waves are lappin' a lot
The sharks are snappin' a lot
The thunder's clappin' a lot
Just hear it roar!
But there's no doubt in the world we'll stay afloat
Cause it's easy to win, take it all on the chin
When you're in the same boat!
[CIOFFI, spoken]
Now the pals come rollin' 'round the bend, while the ladies up the creek come sailing into view. Let's put it all together! Five six seven eight!
(The entire COMPANY sings their sections simultaneously as CIOFFI leads them)
[CIOFFI, spoken]
Up a tone! Bring on the riverboat!
(The COMPANY continues singing as CIOFFI brings the number home)
[ALL]
And we're together in the same boat!
