I'm not a very musical person but sometimes when I wake up in the morning I will have a song stuck in my head, going round and round. The unfortunate thing is they tend to be rather bad songs. Last Friday I woke up singing "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?" I have NOOO idea where that came from, but it is a rather catchy tune.
I'm adding to this blog since Sarah informed me that not everyone knows the words to "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?"
So here, thanks to WIkipedia are several of the verses. Thoses sailors were a creative bunch.
Intro
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
Take him and shake him and try to wake him, (3×)
Early in the morning.
Put him in the bilge and make him drink it, (3x)
Early in the morning.
Soak 'im in oil 'till he sprouts flippers, (3x)
Early in the morning.
Spray him with whiskey and light him on fire, (3×)
Early in the morning.
Hit 'im on the head with a broken hammer, (3×)
Early in the morning.
Hang him from the sails til his eyeballs fall out, (3×)
Early in the morning.
Put him into bed with the captain's daughter, (*) (3×)
Early in the morning.
Slap him around and call him Suzie, (3×)
Early in the morning.
And my all time personal FAVORITE:
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, (3×)
Early in the morning.
Outro
That’s what we’ll do with a drunken sailor, (3×)
Early in the morning.
* The Captains Daughter was the other name for the cat o' nine-tails whip.
