I dreamed last night I got on a boat to Brooklyn
And by some chance I had brought my papes a long
And there I stood and I hollered "One pape for a penny!"
But the passengers they knew right from wrong
For the people all said sit down - sit down you're rocking the boat!
People all said sit down sit down your rockin' the boat
And the scabbers will drab you under by the suspenders on your pants
Sit down sit down sit down sit down sit down you're rocking the boat
So I sailed away on that little boat to Brooklyn
And by some chance I had playn' card in my fist
so ther I stood - I was gamblin' all lmy money
But the passengers were bound to resist
For the people all said sit down - sit down you're rocking the boat!
People all said sit down sit down your rockin' the boat
And the scabbers will drab you under by the suspenders on your pants
Sit down sit down sit down sit down sit down you're rocking the boat
And by some chance I had brought my papes a long
And there I stood and I hollered "One pape for a penny!"
But the passengers they knew right from wrong
For the people all said sit down - sit down you're rocking the boat!
People all said sit down sit down your rockin' the boat
And the scabbers will drab you under by the suspenders on your pants
Sit down sit down sit down sit down sit down you're rocking the boat
