And write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

Really is so horrifyin'
So I'm sitting on a fence

Must you dance every dance
With the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him
Since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out
While you're alone
I'll ask the waiter to tell him
He's wanted on the telephone.

(Irving Berlin, "Change Partners")

Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage one fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years

Margaret said...

I've been sittin' on the fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cuz you keep me in suspense
And you know it

Then you promise to return
When you don't I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it

Ella sang it and it is probably called "Undecided"

Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Just sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue.

(Rodgers/Hart)

Is like walking through Alaska in your BVDs

Sandra Dodd said...

Stand up, stand up for Jesus
But don't rock the boat around
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Or for Christ's sake, sit down.

Sitting on a fence post
Chewing on my bubble gum
Playing with my yo-yo (Doo-wop, doo-wop)
When along comes Herman the worm

Camp song

Clarissa said...

You better sit down kids
I'll tell you why
Your mother and I kids
Don't see eye to eye.

I first had this on a Glen Campbell album in the mid last century, but it turns out Sonny and Cher made it well known. A song where the dad explains to his kids why he and their mom are getting a divorce.

Those who feel the breath of sadness,
sit down next to me.
Those who find they're touched by madness, sit down next to me.
Those who find themselves ridiculous,
sit down next to me.

Sitting on my own not by myself, everybody's here with me
