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 bed/the brig/the hold with the captain's daughter, (3×) [1]
Early in the morning!
Take him and shake him and try and wake him, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Make him walk the plank and swim at sea, (3x)
Early in the morning!
Make him kiss the gardeners daughter, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the scupper with a hosepipe on him, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the longboat til he's sober, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Keep him there and make him bale 'er, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the pickle barrel til he's sober, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the grog barrel til he's pickled, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Throw him in the bilge and make him drink it, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Hang him from the mast like a jolly roger, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Soak him in oil til he's grown flippers, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Keelhaul him til he's sober, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Var.
Keelhaul him and pass the bottle, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Stick him in a bag and beat him senseless, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the brig until he's sober, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Slap him around and call him Suzie, (3×)
Early in the morning!
You haven't seen the captain's daughter, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put 'im in the crow's nest and watch him fall down, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put 'im in a leaky boat an' make 'im bail 'er, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put 'im in the back of the paddywagon, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Give 'im a dose of salt and water, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Stick on 'is back a mustard plaster, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Heave him by the leg in a running bowline, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Tie him to the taffrail when she’s yardarm under, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Set him polishing up the brasswork, (3×)
Early in the morning!
'Round with the rum and scotch and whiskey, (3×)
Early in the morning!
God Speed, The whales are comin', (3x)
Early in the morning!
Go to the market and buy some apples, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Hang him from the yardarm til he dangles, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Scratch his back with a Cat o' Nine Tails, (3×)
Early in the morning
Have seen the captain's daughter? (2×)
Early in the morning!
Followed by:
Have you smelled the captain's daughter? (1×)
Early in the morning!
Put a bag over his head and kick him in the bollocks, (3x)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the Head with his skivies on backwards, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Put him in the hull with an angry weasel, (3×)
Early in the morning!
Hoist him aboard with a running bowline, (3×)
Early in the morning!

That’s what we’ll do with a drunken sailor, (3×)
Early in the morning!
