English text

What shall we do with the drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?
Put him in the longboat till he's sober,
Early in the morning!
Hooray and up she rises,
Early in the morning!

Pull out the plug and wet him all over,
Early in the morning!
Hooray and up she rises,
Early in the morning!

Give him a hair of the dog that bit him,
Early in the morning!
Hooray and up she rises,
Early in the morning!
