What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-aye in the morning?
Chorus:
Way hay and up she rises
Patent blocks o' diff'rent sizes,
Way hay and up she rises
Earl-aye in the morning
- Sling him in the long boat till he's sober,
- Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er.
- Pull out the plug and wet him all over,
- Take 'im and shake 'im, try an' wake 'im.
- Trice him up in a runnin' bowline.
- Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end.
- Give 'im a dose of salt and water.
- Stick on 'is back a mustard plaster.
- Shave his belly with a rusty razor.
- Send him up the crow's nest till he falls down,
- Tie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm under,
- Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him.
- Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts flippers.
- Put him in the guard room till he's sober.
- Put him in bed with the captain's daughter*).
- Take the Baby and call it Bo'sun.
- Turn him over and drive him windward.
- Put him in the scuffs until the horse bites on him.
- Heave him by the leg and with a rung console him.
- That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor.
