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 pa**engers
They knew right from wrong
Oh, the people said sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat!
The people all said sit down, you're rockin' the boat!
And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checker 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 pa**in' out the whiskey
But the pa**engers were bound
To resist
Oh, the people all said beware (people all said beware)
You're on a Heavenly trip (beware)
The people all said beware (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 pa**engers to Heaven
[Laughter]
A great big wave
Came and washed me overboard
And as I sank
And I hollered
Someone save me!
That's the moment I woke up
Thank the Lord (Thank the Lord, thank the Lord)
And I said to myself sit down (Said to himself sit down, sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Said to myself sit down (Said to himself sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
And the devil will drag you under (Devil will drag you under)
With a soul so heavy you'll never float
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down, you're rockin'
Rockin' the boat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
You're rockin' the boat
Sit down (Sit down you're rockin' the boat)
