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

Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat
written: F. Loesser

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
'Cause 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"

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

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
'Cause 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"

As we sailed
On that tiny boat to Heaven
Great big wave
Came and washed me overboard
And as I sank
Oh 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
'Cause 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

"Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, you're rockin the boat"
(Repeat)
