Drunken Sailor

(Shanty)

1. 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?
   Refrain:
   Hoo ray and up she rises,
   Hoo ray and up she rises,
   Hoo ray and up she rises,
   Early in the morning
   


2. Put him in the long boat till he’s sober,


3. Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him.


4. Shave his belly with a rusty razor.


5. Put him in bed with the captain’s daughter.


6. Take him and shake him and try to awake him.


7. That’s what we’ll do with the drunken sailor.
