What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning
Take him and shake him and try to wake him
Give him a taste of the boatswains rope-end
Way hey up she rises
Way hey up she rises
Early in the morning
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
Put him in the guards room until he's sober
Put him in bed with the Captains daughter
Way hey up she rises
Way hey up she rises
Early in the morning
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
Way hey up she rises
Way hey up she rises
Early in the morning
Way hey up she rises
Way hey up she rises
Early in the morning
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
Throw him in the long boat until he's sober
Way hey up she rises
Way hey up she rises
Early in the morning
Give him a dose of salt and water
Send him up the crows nest until he falls down
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
Way hey up she rises
Way hey up she rises
Early in the morning
