Louis Armstrong - Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat lyrics

Now look here don't be singin' that pretty music for me I've learned my lesson and I ain't ready to go yet Let me tell you all about it 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 pa**engers they knew right from wrong For the people all said "Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat" And the 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 you're rocking the boat" Now 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 For the people all said "Beware, you are 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 you're rockin' the boat" Now as I laughed at those pa**engers to Heaven 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 And I said to myself “Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat" I 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 you're rockin' the boat" Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down you're rockin' the boat And I ain't gonna rock it no more
