What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor Lyrics

What shall we do with a drunken sailor, (3×)
Early in the morning?
Chorus
Hoo-ray/Wey-hey/Heave-ho and up she rises, (3×)
Early in the morning.
Verses
Put him in the longboat till he's sober, (3×)[1]
Early in the morning.
Put him in bed with the captain's daughter, (3×)[2]
Early in the morning.
Pull out the plug and wet him all over, (3×)[3]
Early in the morning.
Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him, (3×)[4]
Early in the morning.
Drunken Sailor
Take 'im and shake 'im and try an' wake 'im. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!
Give 'im a dose of salt and water. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Stick on 'is back a mustard plaster. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts a flipper. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!
Heave him by the leg in a running bowline, (3×)[5]
Early in the morning.
Tie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm under, (3×)[6]
Early in the morning.
Keelhaul him, keelhaul him (3×)[7]
Early in the morning.
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, (3×)[8]
Early in the morning.
Outro
That's what we'll do with a drunken sailor, (3×)
Early in the morning.(Amen)
