Guys and Dolls - Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat Lyrics

1992 Broadway revival
Guys and Dolls The Musical - Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat Lyrics

Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser

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 SAVE me"
But the passengers,
They knew right from wrong.
For the people all said sit down,
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat

COMPANY:
People all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat.

NICELY:
And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat,
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,

COMPANY:
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
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 rockin' the boat

And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven (laughs)
(gasps!) 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!
Said to myself sit down,
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
And the devil will drag you under
With a SOLE so heavy you'd never float,
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat
