lyrics

What do ya do with a drunken sailor?
What do ya do with a drunken sailor?
What do ya 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!

Sling him in a long boat 'til he's sober,
Sling him in a long boat 'til he's sober,
Sling him in a long boat 'til he's sober,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS

Stick him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him,
Stick him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him,
Stick him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS

[Whistle interlude: from traditional Irish reel "Eileen Curran"]

Put him in the bilge and make him drink it,
Put him in the bilge and make him drink it,
Put him in the bilge and make him drink it,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS

Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS

Put him into bed with the captains daughter,
Put him into bed with the captains daughter,
Put him into bed with the captains daughter,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS

Give him a hair of the dog that bit him,
Give him a hair of the dog that bit him,
Give him a hair of the dog that bit him,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS

That's what we do with a drunken sailor,
That's what we do with a drunken sailor,
That's what we do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning!

CHORUS
