Raft Skipper in the wardroom drinkin' gin
Aye-ho, chicken on a raft
I don't mind knocking, but I ain't going in
Aye-ho, chicken on a raft
The jimmy's laughin' like it'd rain
Aye-ho, chicken on a raft
He's lookin' at me, comic cuts again
Aye-ho, chicken on a raft
The 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
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
Now gave me the middle and the forenoon too
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Now I'm pullin' on a whalin' crew
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Seagulls wheelin' overhead
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
I ought to be home in me featherbed
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
The 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
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
I had a little girl in Donny-B
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
And did she make a fool of me
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Her heart was like a pusser's shower
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Run hot to cold in a quarter of an hour
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
The 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
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
We kissed goodbye on a midnight bus
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
She didn't cry and she didn't fuss
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Am I the one that she loves best
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Or just a cuckoo in another man's nest?
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
The 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
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
An Amazon girl lived in Dumfries
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
She only had her kids in a-two's and three's
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
She's got a sister in Maryhill
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
She said she won't, but I think she will
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
The 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
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
Aye-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey-ho, chicken on a raft
