What do we do as the shanty singers?
What do we do as the shanty singers?
What do we do as the shanty singers
When the rooster’s cawing?
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
When the rooster’s cawing.
Tar and feathers for a lazy worker
But We’ll tell them in a shallow whisper
Much more softly than a gallant whistler
When the rooster’s cawing.
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
When the rooster’s cawing.
Murmur on a padlock with a holler
Liven up an eardrum with our liquor
Slosh em like the moonbeam moves the swimmer
When the rooster’s cawing
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
When the rooster’s cawing.
Lurch him in a limit with a footloose rhythm
Croon him like a cock in a bluebird’s hymning
Lure him to the bottle in the sunbeams shaking
When the rooster’s cawing.
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
When the rooster’s cawing.
Pit him to the death with the fatal shearer
Peak him with a tune that will spring the winter
Give him with a song, God’s guiding finger!
When the rooster’s cawing.
That’s what we do as the shanty singers
That’s what we do as the shanty singers
That’s what we do as the shanty singers
When the rooster’s cawing.
Original:
I'm oscillating between using we and you throughout. The song is done as a shanty to the tune of the Drunken Sailor song. I realize the apostrophe
What do you do as a shanty singer?
What do you do as a shanty singer?
What do you do as a shanty singer?
Early in the morning?
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Early in the morning
Tar and feathers for a lazy worker
But We’ll tell them in a shallow whisper
Much more softly than a gallant whistler
Early in the morning
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Early in the morning
Fasten on a padlock so they can’t holler
Drown em with an eardrum that’s filled with liquor
Teach em like the moonbeam that pulls the swimmer
Early in the Morning
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Early in the morning
Lure him to the bottle with a small wage for him
Lure him to the bottle with a sea song to sing
Lure him to the bottle in the sunbeams shaking
Early in the morning
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Day Break and up we rise em
Early in the morning
Pit him to the death with the fatal shearer
Peak him with a tune that will spring the winter
Give him with a song, God’s guiding finger!
