Lyrics to the traditional sea shanty "What do we do with a drunken sailor?"

What Shall we do with the Drunken Sailor
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

(chorus)
Hoo-ray and up she rises
Hoo-ray and up she rises
Hoo-ray and up she rises
Early in the morning

Shake him take him try to wake him . .

Give him lashings with a rope end .
.
Bathe his wounds with salty water . .

Sling him in the long boat till he's sober . .

Pull out the plug and wet him all over . .

Put him below until he's sober . .

Get a hose and wet him all over . .

Shave his tummy with a rusty razor . .

Send him up the crow's nest until he falls down . .

That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor . .
