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
