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?
Right
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 โ
It'll make "Fugue for Tinhorns" sound like "Frere Jacques"!
But what about the murders?
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?
Aye aye, captain!
That's Lieutenant. It's just Georgia at the top. Sasha?
Start it off slow
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
Here come the three pals paddling up the rapids!
Here we are, my shipmates and me
Lost on a windy sea
All the planks are springing a leak
We'd like to bail
But we forgot the pail
And we regret to say our compass is gone
But somehow, we still sail on
Because two heads
Three heads!
Are best
As some fella wrote
And what the heck, we're in the same
And heading down the river come the damsels in distress!
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!
But the waves are comin' on fast, third song now!
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!
It's the high-stepping riverboat men from the shore to the rescue!
The waves are lappin' a lot
The sharks are snappin' a lot
The thunder's clappin' a lot
Just hear it roar! (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!
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!
Here we are, my shipmates and me (In the same boat, on the same sea, shakin' inside)
Lost on a windy sea (As the tide keeps rising. Nary a ship, nary a sail, nary a soul)
All the planks are springing a leak (Oh, how we long to stand still, stomachs are in distress)
We'd like to bail (We need a helping hand, still)
But we forgot the pail (No one is here who can hear our SOS)
And we regret to say our compass is gone (And we are tattered and torn, weary and worn, feeling forlorn)
But somehow, we still sail on (That we look untidy! Chewing our nails, praying that whales)
Because two heads (Aren't allowed to eat meat on Fridays)
Are best (Still, we have no doubt in the world)
As some fella wrote (That we'll stay afloat)
And what the heck, we're in the same boat! (We're likely to win, take it all on the chin, 'cause we're in the same boat)
And we're together in the same
Boat!
