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 passengers 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 Cause 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 passengers to heaven By some chance I found a bottle in my fist And there I stood Nicely passing out the whiskey But the passengers were bound to resist 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 Cause 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 Oooh Oooh Oooh As we sail On that tiny boat to heaven Great big wave Came and washed me over board And as I sank Oh 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 Cause 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 Sit down (Sit down) Sit down (Sit down) Sit down Sit down you're rockin the boat
