Discover the story of the song > Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat – frank loesser

The song is about a man who dreams he is on a boat to heaven and has brought his dice. He starts to make a lot of noise, so the other passengers tell him to be quiet and stop rocking the boat. Then he finds a bottle of whiskey and starts to pass it around, but the passengers warn him not to scuttle the ship. He laughs at them, but a wave comes and he falls off the boat. When he wakes up, he tells himself to sit down and be quiet because the devil will drag him under.
