What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning!
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning!
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in the back of the paddy wagon
Put him in the back of the paddy wagon
Put him in the back of the paddy wagon
Early in the morning!
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter
Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter
Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter
Early in the morning!
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Early in the morning!
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning!
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
