Betty: Jimmy, you never want to do nothing. You never want to go anywhere.

Jimmy: Woman, I told you I ain't got no money. Now, don't rock the boat honey.

(Singing)

Betty: You're the one rocking the boat. I've got to make all these waves. I got to cook for you, wash you're clothes, and slave for you all day long while you sit on your lazy behind. You can at least help out and wash the dishes for me.

Jimmy: Betty, you can rock the boat all you get ready. I'm going down the street and play checkers with Freddy.

"Rock the Boat" is a song by "The Hues Corporation", written by Wally Homes. It was released in 1974. Some authorities proclaim it to be the first disco song to hit number one. I was a little girl about 3 or 4 years old I guess when the song came out. It was my favorite song. I would sing it all the time, and my mother and father would record me on a big rim tape recorder. Yes, "Rock the Boat" was a song that people would sing along with as they lived their lives.

Jimmy: Betty, let's go fishing today.

Betty: Let me grab my hat and shoes. I've been wanting me a good old fried fish.

Jimmy: Me too. I hope they are biting today.

(Singing)

And I can still hear me singing with the record as a little girl

(Singing)

Betty: Get the fish, Jimmy!

Jimmy: Don't tip the boat over!
