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
|
