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

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"

(Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down)
My soul's so tired that I can't sit down

People all said "Beware (Beware)
You're on a heavenly trip"
People all said "Beware (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 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) the boat"
