Stubby Kaye - Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat lyrics

[NICELY] 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" 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, sit down Sit down you're rocking 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' 'round the whiskey But the pa**engers were bound to resist For the people all said "Beware you're on a heavenly trip" The 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 A great big wave came and blew 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 rocking the boat" Said to myself "Sit down, sit down you're rocking the boat For 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 you're rockin' the boat" Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down Please be seated
