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
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 rocking)
(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 whiskey
But the passengers
Were bound
To resist
For the people
All said
''Beware you're on
A heavenly trip''
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
Ha ha ha
A great big wave
Came and washed
Me overboard
And as I sank
And 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
Said to myself
Sit down
Sit down
You're rockin'
The 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
You're rockin'
The boat
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' the boat
Sit down
