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
ALL:
Sit down you're rockin' the boat
NICELY:
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 whiskey
But the passengers were bound to resist
