Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat

Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat (From "Guys and Dolls") - Walter Bobbie Guys and Dolls Ensemble (1992)

We will now hear testimony from a brother Nicely Nicely Johnson

Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson come on get up you

Well it happened to be kinda funny like a dream

A dream yeah tell us in your own words

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 smeone fade me

But the passengers they knew right from wrong

For the 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

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

You're on a heavenly trip

People all said 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 washed me over board

And as I sank and I hollered someone save me

That's the moment I woke up thank the Lord

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

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 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're rockin' rockin' the boat

Sit down you're rockin' rockin' the boat

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' the boat

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' the boat

Sit down you're rockin' the boat
