(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay Songtext
von Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66

Sittin′ in the morning sun
I'll be sittin′ when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin′ the tide roll away
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing′s gonna come my way
So, I'm just sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
On the dock of the bay
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can′t do what ten people tell me to do


So, I guess I′ll remain the same
Sittin' here restin′ my bones
And this lonely mess won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
On the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Wastin′ time
(On the dock of the bay)
Wastin′ time
(Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
Wastin′ time
(On the dock of the bay)
Wastin' time
(Sittin′ on the dock of the bay)
Wastin' time
(Sittin′ on the dock of the bay)
Wastin' time
