Sit Down Your Rockin` The Boat Lyrics

NICELY-NICELY:
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."
ENSEMBLE:
People all said,
"Sit down, sit down you're rockin'
the boat."
NICELY-NICELY:
"And the devil will drag you under
By the
sharp lapel of your checkered coat;
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit
down
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down you're rocking the
boat."
NICELY-NICELY:
I
sailed
ENSEMBLE:
OOH...
NICELY-NICELY:
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
For the people all said, "Beware!"
ENSEMBLE:
People all said,
"beware, beware!"
NICELY-NICELY:
You're on a heavenly trip."
People
all said, "beware!"
ENSEMBLE:
People all said,
"beware!"
NICELY-NICELY:
"Beware you'll scuttle the ship;
And the
devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat;
Sit
down,
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down
you're rockin' the boat."
NICELY-NICELY:
And
as
ENSEMBLE:
OOH...
NICELY-NICELY:
I laughed at those passengers to
Heaven
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
A great big wave came and washed me
overboard,
And as I sank, and I hollered,
"Someone save me,"
That's
the moment I woke up, thank the Lord!
ENSEMBLE:
Thank the Lord, thank the
Lord!
NICELY-NICELY:
And I said to myself, "Sit down"
ENSEMBLE:
Said
to himself, "Sit down, sit down"
NICELY-NICELY:
"Sit down you're rocking
the boat."
Said to myself, "Sit down"
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, "Sit
down"
NICELY-NICELY:
"Sit down you're rocking the boat
And the devil
will drag you under
ENSEMBLE:
And the devil will drag you
under
NICELY-NICELY:
With a soul so heavy you'd never float,
Sit
down
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit
down,
Sit down you're rockin' the boat-
Sit down you're
rockin'
Rockin' the boat
Sit down you're rockin'
Rockin' the
boat
Sit down you're rockin'
Rockin' the boat
Sit down you're
rockin'
Rockin' the boat...
Sit down, you Sit down you're the boat!"
