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)
