Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ 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, "Somebody fade me"
But the passengers all knew right from wrong

For the people all said sit down (sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat (sit down)
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, 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 passin' out the whisky
But the passengers were bound to resist

For the people all said, beware (beware)
You're on a heavenly trip (beware)
The people all said, beware (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 knocked me overboard
And as I sank and I hollered, "Someone save me"
That's the moment I woke up
Thank the Lord (thank the Lord)

And I said to myself, sit down (sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat (sit down)
I said to myself sit down (sit down)
Sit down, sit down you're rockin' this boat

And 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 (sit down)
Stop rockin' the boat (oh, oh, oh)

Sit down (sit down)
Sit down (that's right)
You're rockin' that boat (don't go rockin' that boat)
Sit down (sit down)
You better sit down (sit down)
I said sit down, sinner
You're rockin' the boat (don't go rockin' that boat)

Sit down, sit down, sit down
You better sit down (better sit down)
I said sit down, sinner
Stop rockin' the boat (stop rockin' that boat)
Sit down (sit right on down)
Sit down (you, you better sit down)

Sit down (hey, now)
Don't be rockin' the boat (don't be rockin' this boat)
You better sit down (come on)
You're rockin' the boat (don't rock the boat, baby)
I said sit down (sit down, sit down)

Sit down, sit down, sit down
You're rockin' the boat (don't go rockin' that boat)
You better sit down (better sit down, better sit down)
Sit down (yeah, sit down now)
Stop rockin' the boat (sit down now)
You better sit down (that's right)
You better sit down (stop rockin')

I said sit down, stop rockin' the boat
Stop rockin' the boat
