From ^AmTortuga's port we put to sea And ^Gsailed for sixteen days In the ^Ambiggest storm I'd ever seen We ^Galmost lost our ^Amway When a ^Amcall came from a deckhand “Boys, I ^Gthink she’s going down But ^Amdon’t you fear There’s ^Genough rum here To ^Gdrink until we ^Amdrown!”

^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning

So this ^Amdeckhand grabbed a barrel Broke the ^Gseal and took a swig And ^Amsoon their screams turned into songs Their ^Gpanicked work turned into ^Amjigs The ^Amfirst mate bellowed orders Ever ^Gtrying to save their skins “Any ^Amdrunken retch the captain catch He’ll ^Gbeat all limb from ^Amlimb!”

^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning

Every ^Amman continued drinking All their ^Gduties long forgot They were ^Amdeaf to every order ‘Til they ^Gheard a pistol ^Amshot The ^Amcaptain stood on fo'c'stle Swung the ^Gcat above his head ^Am“Back to yer post, or by my ghost ^GYe’ll wish that ye were ^Amdead!”

^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning

Every ^Amdrunk received a beating Some of the ^Gdrunker managed two The ^Amcaptain kept an eye Until he’d ^Gsobered up his ^Amcrew He ^Amthen retired to quarters Put the ^Grum upon his shelf Sat ^Amin his seat, put up his feet And ^Gdrank the rest ^Amhimself!

^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^AmWhat shall we do with a drunken sailor? ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^AmHoo-ray and up she rises (Hoo-ray) ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning

^AmPut him in the longboat ‘til he’s sober ^AmShave his belly with a rusty razor ^AmThrow him in the hold with the captain’s daughter ^GEar-lie in the ^Ammorning
