Rock the Boat
Rock the Boat: Sail into Freedom with Good Friends and Great Vibes
Lyrics
I've been workin' all week, I can hardly wait
I've been working hard all week, and I'm eagerly anticipating a break.
I got a houseboat rented down on the lake
I have rented a houseboat by the lake for our gathering.
My pickup's gassed up and loaded up and ready to go
My pickup truck is fueled up and loaded, ready for the trip.
I put out the word to all my good-time friends
I've informed all my friends who enjoy a good time about our plans.
We're meeting at the dock, that's where the party begins
We will meet at the dock to kick off the party.
Be there or be square
An invitation to join the event; failure to come might be considered uncool.
Come along
An encouraging call for others to join the gathering.
Anything goes
Emphasizing that anything is acceptable or allowed at the party.
Yeah, Bon voyage, tonight we're gonna rock the boat
A farewell message expressing the intention to have a great time and party on the boat.
Yeah, we're gonna motor out
We're going to start the boat's engine and move out.
Drop anchor in the middle
We will anchor the boat in the middle of the lake.
Drag out the guitars, and tune up the fiddles
Preparing to enjoy music with guitars and fiddles.
Have loads of fun be lucky if she stays afloat
Anticipating a fun and possibly adventurous night, with a touch of uncertainty about the boat's stability.
Yeah, we'll be makin' waves tonight
Expecting to create excitement and enthusiasm on the water.
We're gonna rock the boat

Well I can see us all now by the light of the moon
Imagining the scene with everyone under the moonlight.
One big party on two pontoons
Envisioning a large and enjoyable party on two pontoons (floating structures).
Flip-flops, tank-tops, bikinis, and no dress code
Describing the casual and relaxed dress code for the gathering.
We'll be surrounded acres of swimming pool
Expecting to be surrounded by a large area of water for swimming.
Wall-to-wall coolers and barbecue
Anticipating a well-stocked party with coolers and barbecue.
Inboards
