[Lyrics]
|: What shall we do with the drunken sailor, :| 3x
early in the morning?
|: Hooray, and up she rises, :| 3x
early in the morning.
Take him and shake him and try to awake him ...
Give him a dose of salt and water, ...
Give him a taste of the bosun's rope-end, ...
Put him in the long-boat till he's sober, ...
Pull out the plug and wet him all over, ...
Heave him by the leg in a running bowlin', ...
That's what to do with a drunken sailor, ...
