"What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?" is a traditional sea shanty that has been sung by sailors for centuries. The song asks what to do with a drunken sailor early in the morning, and the most common responses include:
- Put him in the longboat and make him bail her
- Sling him in the long boat till hes sober
- Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er
- Shave his belly with a rusty razor
- Put him in bed with the captain's daughter
The song has been covered by many artists over the years, including The Fisherman's Friends and Malinda ft. Bobby Waters.
