Sit Down, You're Rocking 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" (sit down)
Oh, the people all said, "sit down (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)
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"

I sailed away on that little boat to heaven (boat to heaven, ooh)
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
And there I stood nicely passin' 'round the whiskey (there I stood, ooh)
But the passengers were bound to resist (bound to resist)

For the people all said, "beware (beware)
You're on a heavenly trip" (you're on a heavenly trip)
Oh, the people all said
"Beware, beware, you'll scuttle the ship (beware, beware)(scuttle the ship)
And the devil will drag you under (oh)
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down (sit down)
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"

And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven (ooh)
A great big wave came and washed me overboard
And as I sank, and I hollered, "someone save me" (and as I sank) (save me)
That's the moment I woke up, thank the lord

And I said to myself, "sit down (sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat" (rockin' the boat)
Oh said to myself, "sit down (sit down)
"Sit down, you're rockin' the boat (rockin' the boat)
And the devil will drag you under
With a soul so heavy you'll never float
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down (sit down, sit down)
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"

(Sit down you're rockin')
(Sit down, sit down, sit down you're rockin')
Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat (sit down)
(Sit down you're rockin')
(Sit down, sit down, sit down you're rockin')
Sit down, sit down (sit down you're rockin' the boat)
Sit down you're rockin'
Sit down, sit down, sit down you're rockin' (sit down)
(Sit down)
Sit down, I feel (sit down you're rockin'the boat)
Sit down, sit down, sit down you're rockin'
Rockin', rockin' the boat (rockin')
(Down, sit down)
Down, down, down, all the people said
Down, down, down, the people said
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
