Four sailors promenade, go walkin' 'round the poop deck
Back home star thru, California twirl, and circle to the left
Hi-Ho and up she rises, Hi-Ho and up she rises
Turn to the corner, allemande left, and weave around the ring
*What shall we do with a drunken sailor, What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a drunken sailor, Promenade back home
**Put him in the long boat till he's sober, Put him in the long boat till he's sober
Put him in the long boat till he's sober, early (Ear-Lie) in the morning

*What shall we do with a drunken sailor, What shall we do with a drunken sailor
What shall we do with a drunken sailor, Promenade back home
**Shave his belly with a rusty razor, shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, early (Ear-Lie) in the morning

*Here's what we do with a drunken sailor, Here's what we do with a drunken sailor
Here's what we do with a drunken sailor, Promenade back home
**Put him in the long boat till he's sober, Pull out the plug and wet him all over
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, early (Ear-Lie) in the morning

All four ladies chain the ring, go across the deck and then
Head couples promenade, halfway round you go
Heads lead right and circle up four, break right out and make a line
Forward to the middle, slide thru, and do an eight chain 3
Hi-Ho and up she rises, Hi-ho... meet #4
Give a left to the corner, courtesy turn, Keep her and promenade
*Pull out the plug and wet him all over, Pull out the plug and wet him all over
Pull out the plug and wet him all over, Early (Ear-Lie) in the morning
