[Intro]
I dreamed last night I got on a boat to Heaven (Heaven)
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
And there I stood nicely passin' out a number
But the passengers were bound to resist

[Verse 1]
People all said "Sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"
People all said "Sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat"

[Pre-Chorus]
And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat

[Chorus]
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat

[Bridge]
(Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down)
My soul's so tired that I can't sit down
[Verse 2]
People all said "Beware (Beware)
You're on a heavenly trip"
People all said "Beware (Beware)
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship

[Pre-Chorus]
And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat

[Chorus]
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat"

[Pre-Chorus]
(And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat)

[Chorus]
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' (the boat) the boat
