What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What shall you do with a drunken sailor?
What should we do with a drunken sailor
early in the morning?

Don't let him steer that cargo freighter,
don't let him near that cargo freighter,
don't let him bring her starboard lighter
early in the morning.

Ho, ho, and then she's sideways;
ho, ho, and now she's sideways;
ho, ho, he's rammed her sideways
early in the morning!

Sober him up with lots of coffee,
sugar him up with chewy toffee,
steady him up with milk so frothy
early in the morning.

Tell him his shipment's gone til' next week;
tell him the seller's canceled, they're meek;
tell him she's got the mightiest leak
early in the morning.

Ho, ho, now watch her sideways;
ho, ho, now look, she's sideways;
ho, ho, she's jammed it sideways
early in the morning!
