I dreamed last night
I was on the boat to heaven
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
And the people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
The people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
and the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapels of your checkered coat
Sit down Sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
Oooh Oooh Oooh (scat)
Oooh Oooh Oooh
As I sailed
With those pa**engers to heaven
By some chance
I found a bottle in my fist
And there I stood
Nicely pa**ing out the whiskey
But the pa**engers were bound to resist
For the people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin the boat
The people all said beware
Your on 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 sit down
Your rocking the boat
Ans as I laughed at those pa**engers to heaven
A Great big wave came and washed me over board
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 (Sit down) Sit down (Sit down)
Sit down Sit down you're rockin the boat
