Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat Lyrics - Don Henley

I dreamed last night 

I was on the boat to heaven 

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 

And 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 lapels of your checkered coat 

Sit down Sit down 

Sit down you're rockin the boat 

Oooh Oooh Oooh (scat) 

Oooh Oooh Oooh 

As I sailed 

With those passengers to heaven 

By some chance 

I found a bottle in my fist 

And there I stood 

Nicely passing out the whiskey 

But the passengers were bound to resist 

For the people all said sit down 

Sit down you're rockin the boat 

The people all said beware 

Your on 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 

Your rocking the boat 

Ans 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 

I 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 you're rockin the boat 

Sit down (Sit down) Sit down (Sit down) 

Sit down Sit down you're rockin the boat
