Skipper in the wardroom drinkin' gin
Hey yo, chicken on a raft!
I don't mind knockin', but I ain't goin' in!
Hey yo, chicken on a raft!
The jimmy's laughin' like it'd rain
Hey yo, chicken on a raft!
He's lookin' at me comic cuts again!
Hey yo, chicken on a raft!
Cho:Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
Dabtoes forward and the dustmen aft
Sittin' there a'pickin' at a chicken on a raft!
Hi, ho, chicken on a raft!
Hey, ho, chicken on a raft!
Hi, ho, chicken on a raft!
Hey, ho, chicken on a raft!
Gave me the middle and the forenoon too
Now I'm pullin' on a whalin' crew
Seagulls wheelin' overhead
I oughter be home in me featherbed!
I had a little girl in Donny-B
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!
We kissed goodbye on a midnight bus
She didn't cry and she didn't fuss
Am I that one she loves the best
Or just a cuckoo in another man's nest?
An amazon girl lived in Dumfries
Only had her kids in two's and three's
She's got a sister in Maryhill
Says she won't but I think she will!
