Now hear testimony from Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson.
Brother Nicely Nicely Johnson!
Get up, you!
Well, it happened to me kind of funny, like a dream.
That's it, a dream!
Well, tell us in your own words.
[Dm] I dreamed last night I got on [Eb] the boat to heaven,
[Dm] And by some chance I had brought my dice [F] along.
And
[Am] there I [Bb] stood, [A] and I hollered,
[Ab] Someone save me!
[Dm] But the passengers, they [A] knew right [Cm] from [F] wrong.
[C]
[Fm] For the people said, sit down, [C] sit down, you're rockin' the boat.
[Fm] People [Bb] said, sit down, sit [F] down, you're rockin' the boat.
And the devil will [D] drag you under,
By the shaft or the pail of your checkered coat.
[Db] Now sit down, [F] you're rockin' the boat.
[Cm]
[Dm] I sailed away [Eb] on that little boat to heaven,
[Dm] And by some chance found a bottle in my [Eb] bin.
[Am] [D] I stood nicely [A] passin' out [Ab] the whiskey,
[Dm] But the passengers were [A] bound to [Eb] resist.
[F]
[C] For [D] the people all said, [C] beware, [G] you're out of the picture.
[F] The people [D] all said, beware, you'll scuttle the ship.
[Bb] And the devil will drag you [Bb] under,
By the [Fm] fancy tie around your wicked throat.
So sit down, sit [Dm] down, sit down, sit [C] down, sit down, you're [A] rockin' the boat.
[D] [Eb]
[B] [Dm] A great big wave came and washed me overboard.
[F]
[Am] As I [E] sank, and [Am] someone [Ab] saved me,
[A] That's the moment I woke [Cm] up, thank.
[F] [C]
[F] And I said to [Eb] myself, sit [Bbm] down, [F] sit down, you're rockin' the boat.
[Eb] I said to myself, sit [Bbm] down, sit [F] down, you're rockin' the boat.

By the soles of your hair you'd never float.
