Skipper’s in the wardroom drinking gin

Hi ho, chicken on a raft

I don’t mind knocking, but I ain’t going in

Hi ho, chicken on a raft

The Jimmy’s laughing like a drain

Hi ho, chicken on a raft

He’s looking at me “comic cuts” again

Hi ho, chicken on a raft

Gave me the middle and the forenoon too…

And now I’m pulling in the whaler’s crew…

Seagulls wheeling overhead…

I oughter be home in me featherbed…

I had a little girl in Donny-Bee

And did she make a fool of me

Her heart was like a pusser’s shower

Run hot to cold in a quarter of an hour

An Amazon girl lived in Dumfries

Only had her kids in twos and threes

Her sister lives in Maryhill

Says she won’t but I think she will
