Now That We’ve Got The Drunken Sailor Song In Your Head… You Might As Well Know The Words…

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?

Chorus:
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. (x3)

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 long boat till he’s sober, (x3)
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 scuppers with a hawse-pipe on him. (x3)
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. (x3)
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! (x3)

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 (repeat)
