Sit down, you're rocking the boat!

Today's song, stuck in my head...

Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat
from "Guys and Dolls"

I dreamed last night, I got on a 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 rocking the boat.
And the people all said sit down,
Sit down you're rocking 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,
Sit down you're rocking the boat.
I sailed away on that little boat to heaven,
And by some chance 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 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 rocking the boat.
And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven.
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.
And I said to myself sit down, sit down you're rocking the boat.
Said to myself sit down, sit down you're rocking the boat.
And the devil will drag you under, with a soul so heavy, you'll never float.
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down you're rocking the boat.
Sit down, you're rocking, sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rocking the boat.
Sit down, you're rocking, sit down, sit down, sit down, you're rocking the boat.
Sit down, you're rocking the boat!
Sit down!
