What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Earlie in the morning
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
Put him in a longboat till he's sober
Put him in a longboat till he's sober
Put him in a longboat till he"s sober
Earlie in the morning
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
When my grandpa was a boy he went down to
the general store
Saw a picture book on whales, shooting its spout and splashing its tail
Then he got a sailor's dream about cruising round on the salty seas
Joined up with a fishing crew, went off to shoot a whale or two
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
Lots of whales in the deep blue sea, we can
them for the industry
Drag 'em alongside, cut 'em in two, melt them down and sell 'em to you
There hardly is a sailor alive who can keep the tears from his eyes
When he remembers the good old days when there were no whales to save
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
A modern ship and a modern crew with sonar
scopes and a stokes harpoon
After six months you begin to see whalings not what it used to be
Now we can the companies for scouring out the deep blue sea
Looking for ivory and perfume and oil to light your living room
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Earlie in the morning
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
Put him in the cabin with the Captain's
daughter
Put him in the cabin with the Captain's daughter
Put him in the cabin with the Captain's daughter
Earlie in the morning
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Earlie in the morning
