Sit Down, You’re Rocking 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
"Some one 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, Ooooooh
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist, Ooooooh
And there I stood
Nicely passing out the whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist. Ooooooh
For the people all said, People all said
"Beware, you're on a heavenly trip." "Beware, beware"
People all said, People all said
"Beware, you'll scuttle the ship" "Beware."
And the devil will drag you under, Sit down, sit
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
"Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down "Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat" Sit down you're rockin' the boat"

Down
And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven, Oooooh
Ha ha ha!
A great big wave came and washed me overboard, Oooooh
And as I sank
And I hollered
"Someone save me"
That's the moment I woke up, Oooooh
Thank the Lord! Thank the Lord, thank the Lord!
And I said to myself, Said to myself
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat." "Sit down, sit down"
Said to myself, Said to myself
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat." "Sit down"
And the devil will drag you under, 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 you're rockin' the boat. Sit down you're rockin' the boat

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