What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor is a song that can be traced back to 1839, and it is arguably the most popular and widely known sea shanty of all-time. The song has the same melody as the Irish folk song Oro Se Do Bheatha Abhaile - it is unknown which song came first. In the early 1900's the popularity of the song in America soared. Over the years the song has been recorded and/or performed countless hundreds of times. The song appears briefly in Fleischer's 1932 Talkartoon short S.O.S. (Sink Or Swim) featuring Betty Boop.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR
Refrain:
Weigh heigh and up she rises (/Hoo-ray and up she rises)
Weigh heigh and up she rises (/Patent blocks of different sizes)
Weigh heigh and up she rises
Early in the morningTraditional verses:
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
What shall we do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?
Put/chuck him in the long boat 'til he's sober.
Put him in the long-boat and make him bail her.
What shall we do with a drunken soldier?
Put/lock him in the guard room 'til he gets sober.
Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him.
Pull out the plug and wet him all over.
Tie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm under
Heave him by the leg in a runnin' bowline.
Scrape the hair off his chest with a hoop-iron razor.
Give 'im a dose of salt and water.
Stick on his back a mustard plaster.
Keep him there and make 'im bail 'er.
Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end.
What'll we do with a Limejuice skipper?
Soak him in oil till he sprouts a flipper.
What shall we do with the Queen o' Sheba?
What shall we do with the Virgin Mary?
