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 holler someone fade
But the passengers they knew right from wrong.
And the people 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 you're rockin the
