[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
For the people all said, "Sit down (Sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin’ the boat"
Woah, the people all said, "Sit down (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)
Sit down, you’re rockin' the boat"

[Verse 2]
I sailed away on that littlе boat to Heaven (Boat to Heavеn)
And by some chance, found a bottle in my fist
And there I stood (There I stood), nicely passin' out the whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist (Bound to resist)

[Chorus]
For the people all said, "Beware (Beware)
You're on a heavenly trip" (You're on a heavenly trip)
Well, the people all said, "Beware (Beware)
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship (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)
Sit down, you're rockin’ the boat"
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh)
(You’re rockin' the boat)

[Bridge]
And as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven (Ooh)
A great big wave came and washed me overboard
And as I sank (As I sank), and I hollered, "Someone save me" (Save me)
That’s the moment I woke up, thank the Lord

[Chorus]
And I said to myself, "Sit down (Sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat" (Rockin' the boat, sit down)
Woah, I said to myself, "Sit down (Sit down)
Sit down, you’re rockin' the boat (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"

[Outro]
Sit down, you're rockin'
Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin'
Sit down (Sit down), sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down, you're rockin'
Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin'
Sit down (Sit down), sit down (You're rockin' the boat)
Sit down, you're rockin'
Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin'
(Sit down), sit down, oh (Sit down, you're rockin' the boat)
Sit down, you're rockin'
Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin'
Rockin', rockin' the boat (Just sit down)
Down, down, down, all the people say
Down, down, down, the people say
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down (Sit down)
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
