  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 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 whisky 
  But the passengers were bound to resisist  
  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 (laughs)  
  (gasps!) A great big wave came and washed me over board!  
  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, sit down, you're rockin' the boat 
  (Long Gasp) What a horrible nightmare! Better go find Nathan. He will need me to help him set up for the big game.
