Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat

James Taylor - Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat

Written by：Frank Loesser

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 somebody fade me

But the passengers all knew right from wrong

For the people all said sit down sit down

Sit down you're rockin' the boat sit down

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 you're rockin' the boat

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' out the whisky

But the passengers were bound to resist

For the people all said beware beware

You're on a heavenly trip beware

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 as I laughed at those passengers to heaven

A great big wave came and knocked me over board

And as I sank and I hollered someone save me

That's the moment I woke up thank the lord

Thank the lord

And I said to myself sit down sit down

Sit down you're rockin' the boat sit down

I said to myself sit down sit down

Sit down you're rockin' this 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 stop rockin' the boat

Sit down sit down sit down that's right

Rockin' the boat rockin' the boat

Sit down sit down you'd better sit down

Sit down I said sit down

Stop it rockin' the boat rockin' the boat

Sit down sit down sit down

You'd better sit down better sit down

I said sit down stop it

Stop rockin' the boat stop rockin' the boat

Sit down sit down sit down sit down sit down

Hey now don't be rockin' the boat

Don't be rockin' this boat

You'd better sit down

You're rockin' this boat

I said sit down sit down sit down

Sit down sit down sit down

Don't be rockin' the boat

Don't be rockin' the boat

You'd better sit down better sit down better sit down

Sit down stop it

Stop rockin' the boat sit down now

Better sit down that's right

You'd better sit down

Stop rocking the boat

I said sit down

Stop rockin' the boat

Stop rockin' the boat
