Drunken Sailor




Last week Mikayla participated in her first choir concert of the year.

Do you see where this is going yet?




The whole family was able to watch the show so here is a short video compilation that I threw together since obviously photographs don't quite capture the essence of the song.  It's less than 3 minutes long.



A quick Google search brought up the above lyrics and, thank goodness, the choir group used a slightly different set of lyrics.  Maybe Mikayla will enlighten us in the near future with a more accurate version of the Mount Baker Middle School interpretation.

UPDATE:
Mikayla has now provided us with the actual lyrics... Middle School style:

What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
What shall we do with a drunken sailor earlye in the morning?

La, La, La-La (repeat multiple times)

Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him.
Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him.
Put him in the scuppers with a hosepipe on him earlye {clap} earlye in the morning.

Put him in the longboat 'till he's sober.
Put him in the longboat 'till he's sober.
Put him in the longboat 'till he's sober earlye {clap} earlye in the morning.

La, La, La-La earlye in the {stomp} morning!

~E

  1. Don't you think they could come up with a multi-part song other than one about a drunken sailor? I remember singing this is middle school too, and it still gets stuck in my head sometimes. With all of the song choices out there...why?
