Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
[Verse 2]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
[Verse 3]
Put him in a leaky boat and make him bale her
Put him in a leaky boat and make him bale her
Put him in a leaky boat and make him bale her
Early in the morning
[Verse 4]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
[Verse 5]
Put him in a corsair and make him pull her
Put him in a corsair and make him pull her
Put him in a corsair and make him pull her
Early in the morning
[Verse 6]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
[Verse 7]
Put him in the brig until he's sober
Put him in the brig until he's sober
Put him in the brig until he's sober
Early in the morning
[Verse 8]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
[Verse 9]
Make him sleep with the captain's daughter
Make him sleep with the captain's daughter
Make him sleep with the captain's daughter
Early in the morning
[Verse 10]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
[Verse 11]
Have you seen the captain's daughter?
Have you seen the captain's daughter?
Have you seen the captain's daughter
Early in the morning?
[Verse 12]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
[Verse 13]
Keelhaul him, keelhaul him
Keelhaul him, keelhaul him
Keelhaul him, keelhaul him
Early in the morning
[Verse 14]
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
