Pagina in liedboeken:  
  1. What shall we do with the drunken sailor,(ter)
    early in the morning?
    Hooray and up she rises,(ter)
    early in the morning.
  2. Take him and shake him and try to awake him,
  3. Give him a dose of salt and water,
  4. Put him in the longboat until he's sober,
  5. Pull out the plug and wet him all over,
  6. Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him,
  7. Heave him by the leg in a running bowlin',
  8. Tie him to the taffrail when she's yard-arm under,
  9. Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter,
  10. That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor,
