Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat Lyrics by Frank Loesser

An Evening With Frank Loesser

0

[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, you're rockin' the boat"
The 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"
[Verse 2]
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' 'round the whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist
[Chorus]
For the people all said, "Beware
You're on a heavenly trip"
The people all said, "Beware
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship
And the devil will drag you under
By that fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat"
[Verse 3]
And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven (Ah, ha ha)
A great big wave came and blew me overboard
And as I sank and I hollered, "Someone save me"
That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord
[Chorus]
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
For 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, you're rockin' the boat"
[Outro]
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Sit down, sit down
Please be seated
