Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat

I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven

And by some chance I had brought my dice along

And there I stood

And I hollered "Someone fade me"

But the passengers, they knew right from wrong.

For the people all said sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat

People all said sit down

Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

And the devil will drag you under

By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat,

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

I sailed away on that little boat to heaven

And by some chance found a bottle in my fist

And there I stood, Nicely passin' out the whisky

But the passengers were bound to resist

For the people all said beware

You're on a heavenly trip

People all said beware

Beware, you'll scuttle the ship.

And the devil will drag you under

By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down

Sit down, you're rockin' the boat

And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven (laughs)

(Gasps!) A great big wave came and washed me over board!

And as I sank And I hollered "someone save me!"

That's the moment I woke up Thank the lord

And I said to myself, sit down, sit down,

You're rockin' the boat!

Said to myself sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat

And the devil will drag you under

With a soul so heavy you'd never float,

Sit down, sit down, sit down

Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat
