"(Don't Sit Down)" is a song written by David Bowie in 1969 for the album Space Oddity. This short song is a folk-rock-style stub consisting mainly of the lyrics "Yeah yeah, baby, yeah" and "Don't sit down" before ending in laughter after only 40 seconds.

The song was deleted from the RCA re-release of Space Oddity in 1972, but was added again for the Rykodisc CD-release in 1990 and the EMI-remaster in 1999.
