Loesser Frank Sit Down Your Rockin The Boat lyrics

NICELY-NICELY:
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 rockin` the boat.`
ENSEMBLE:
People all said,
`Sit down, sit down you`re rockin` the boat.`
NICELY-NICELY:
`And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat;
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down you`re rocking the boat.`
NICELY-NICELY:
I sailed
ENSEMBLE:
OOH...
NICELY-NICELY:
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 whiskey,
But the passengers were bound to resist
For the people all said, `Beware!`
ENSEMBLE:
People all said, `beware, beware!`
NICELY-NICELY:
You`re on a heavenly trip.`
People all said, `beware!`
ENSEMBLE:
People all said, `beware!`
NICELY-NICELY:
`Beware you`ll scuttle the ship;
And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie `round your wicked throat;
Sit down,
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down you`re rockin` the boat.`
NICELY-NICELY:
And as
ENSEMBLE:
OOH...
NICELY-NICELY:
I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
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!
ENSEMBLE:
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord!
NICELY-NICELY:
And I said to myself, `Sit down`
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, `Sit down, sit down`
NICELY-NICELY:
`Sit down you`re rocking the boat.`
Said to myself, `Sit down`
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, `Sit down`
NICELY-NICELY:
`Sit down you`re rocking the boat
And the devil will drag you under
ENSEMBLE:
And the devil will drag you under
NICELY-NICELY:
With a soul so heavy you`d never float,
Sit down
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
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 Sit down you`re the boat!`
