What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor, early in the morning
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises, early in the morning
Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him
Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him
Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him, early in the morning
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises, early in the morning
Take him, shake him and try an' wake him
Take him, shake him and try an' wake him
Take him, shake him and try an' wake him, early in the morning
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises, early in the morning
Cut of his willy with a rusty razor
Cut of his willy with a rusty razor
Cut of his willy with a rusty razor, early in the morning
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises, early in the morning
That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor
That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor
That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor, early in the morning
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises, early in the morning
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises
Hurray and up she rises, early in the morning
