Lyrics

What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
Row the longboat to the landing
The drinking life is too demanding
Tough love will leave you standing
Early in the morning
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired
Of being late and being fired
First one drunk and the last one hired
Early in the morning
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
The kids all love you and adore you
But by evening they are looking for you
Rowing a lifeboat along beside you
Early in the morning
So what shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
The wind is up and the ocean rages
Disease will take you down in stages
The killer whale will eat through cages
Early in the morning
Oh, loving this much has got me grieving
I can't stand by and watch you leaving
But no more lies, no more deceiving
The truth comes in the morning
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
I'm loving the one this storm is taking
I'm on the shore and my heart is breaking
I'm watching a drowning in the making
It's gonna take me down by morning
Living in guilt and dying in shame
The drunken sailor is not to blame
But when we asked for help, millions came
And it was a brand new morning
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
