I dreamed last night
I got on a boat to heaven
And by some chance
I had brought my dice along!
And there I stood
As I hollered "someone fade me!"
But the passengers they know right from wrong

[Chorus]
For the people all said "sit down"
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"(x2)
And the devil will drive you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
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 whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist

[Chorus]
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 drive 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 (laughs)
A great big wave came
And knocked me overboard!
And as I sank
I hollered "someone save me!!"
That's when I woke up
Thank the Lord (thank the Lord)

[Chorus]

Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin the
