Chorus:
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises (patent blocks o’ diff’rent sizes)
Way hay and up she rises
Earl-eye in the morning
What shall we do with a drunken sailor (3x)
Earl-eye in the morning!
Put him in a long-boat till he’s sober (3x)
Earl-eye in the morning!
…Keep him there and make ‘im bale ‘er…
…Trice him up in a runnin’ bowline…
…Tie him to the tasffrail when she’s yard-arm under…
…Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him…
…Take ‘im and shake ‘im and try an’ wake ‘im…
…Give ‘im a dose of salt and water…
…Give ‘im a taste of the bosun’s rope-end…
…Stick on ‘is back a mustard plaster…
…Soak ‘im in oil till he sprouts a flipper…
…Shave his belly with a rusty razor…
…Put him in the guard room till he gets sober…
…Put him in bed with the Captain’s daughter…
…You haven’t seen the Captain’s daughter…
