Theme Song

It's on a CD called DORIS DAY, The 1960s Singles, on sale at Amazon.

Now the BIGGER challenge is finding ALL the Right Lyrics!

I've seen some posted that are close, but when you run the movie with the closed-captions on, you see there are some mistakes both ways. Further clues later in the movie when she sings it with Arthur Godfrey (including an extra verse not in the credits)

I've got all corrected pretty much now, except the last line when she's singing really fast before she stops for breath.

Anyone related to Joe Lubin who can tell us once and for all?

Here is what I've put together from online and corrected from the CD and DVD...

THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT
(by Joe Lubin) Sung by Doris Day
in the film "The Glass Bottom Boat" (1966)
(Recorded January 21, 1966 with Mort Garson's orchestra) 

All aboard, all aboard
On the glass bottom boat
It's the greatest show that was ever afloat
Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see
The way out wonders of the deep blue sea

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot to see, in the deep blue sea
The sailfish sail and the blowfish blow
Cockles & mussels alive-alive-o

The hermit crab, he lives alone
You can't even get him on the telephone
The halibut's eyes turn up and in
He don't know where he's going, but he knows where he's been

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea
The glass bottom boat, you will agree
Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea

Spiney crabs and whitefish too
Will all be there, what a hullabaloo
With so many fish upon the scene
There's hardly room for a fat sardine

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot goin' on in the deep blue sea
Oh life on the glass bottom boat is great
(I'm the captain) You could use a mate

Now the turtle is slow, but not so dumb
He has his own condominium
A bluebird oyster was caught with "poyle"
He swore he didn't even know the "goyle"

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea
The glass bottom boat, you will agree
Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea

(Oh come along on the big clambake
and watch that swordfish cut the cake
When the barracuda makes the scene
the jellyfish shivers like a tambourine)

The flyin' fish was an awful ham
Made a three-point landing in a fryin' pan
The porpoise has the most horse-power
But the whales are ones with the built-in showers
Starfish, starfish, two-pence all
Abelone in the casserole
Winding binding giant kelp
(unintelligible. Sounds like: "Is growing, growing, growing, uh....")
Ahhh...

All aboard, all aboard
On the glass bottom boat
It's the greatest show that was ever afloat
Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see
The way out wonders of the deep blue sea

All aboard, all aboard
On the glass bottom boat
It's the greatest show that was ever afloat
Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see
The way out wonders of the deep blue sea
