Lyrics




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"
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 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 passing out the whiskey
But the passengers
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 passengers to heaven
A great big wave
Came and washed me over board!
And as I sank
And I whispered "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 that you'll never float
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat!"
