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 rocking the boat

I sailed, ooh

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 whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist
For the people all said, "Beware"

People all said, "Beware, beware"
You're on a heavenly trip"
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 ooh

I laughed at those passengers to heaven
Ah, ah, ah, ah
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 rocking the boat
Said to myself, "Sit down"
Said to himself, "Sit down"

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