The skipper’s in the wardroom drinkin' gin,
Hi yo, chicken on a raft!I don't mind knockin', but I ain't goin' in!
Hi yo, chicken on a raft!Jimmy's laughin' like a drain,
Hi yo, chicken on a raft!Been lookin' at me comic cuts again!
Hi yo, chicken on a raft! Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning,
Oh, what a terrible sight to see,
Dabtails forward and the dustman aft,
Sittin' there a'pickin' at a chicken on a raft!
Hi yo chicken on a raft!
Hey yo chicken on a raft!
Hi yo chicken on a raft!
Hey yo 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 sleeping in a 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,
From hot to cold in a quarter of an hour!
We kissed goodbye on a midnight bus,
She didn't cry she didn't fuss,
Am I the one that she loves best,
Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest?
An amazon girl lived in Dumfries,
She only had her kids in two's and three's,
Her sister lives in Maryhill,
She says she won't but I think she will!
