Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat

(アルバム： If I Ruled The World - 1965)

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 rocking the boat
People all said, sit down
Sit down, you're rocking 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 rocking 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 passing 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 rocking the boat

And as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
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

And I said to myself, sit down
Sit down, you're rocking the boat
Said to myself, sit down
Sit down, you're rocking 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 rocking the

Sit down, you're rocking, rocking the boat...
