Oh! what shall we do with drunken sailors?
look at the mess they made!
haven't we cut their booze issues dry
Oh! what be done to drunkards
Haven't we told them how much to drink
not before duty, but after work
haven't we got alco-sensors
Oh! what to do with drunken Master!?
Don't they do surprise checks
and flog the log even if not
haven't we stopped pusser's rum
Oh! what to do with drunken crew
haven't we put all these in SMS
as is our wont with ISMs
what of pre-joining medicals done
Oh! what be done with drinking binge
Haven't their shore leave been cut
to keep them off of all evils
do they brew liquor on board
or smuggle in hip vats n shoes
Oh how strict n silly are we
poor old sods gotta drink n work
cause they always on the brink
their ship and lives always at risk
Can't we give them light beer
If not kegs, at least root beer
hard drinks in chotta pegs
for us lubbers in parsi pegs |
