Chicken on a Raft

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Skipper's in the wardroom drinking gin (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) I don't mind knocking, but I ain't going in (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) Well, Jimmy's laughing like a drain (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) Been looking at me Comic Cuts again (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) [Chorus] Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning Oh, what a terrible sight to see Dabtoe's forward and the dustman's aft Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft [Verse 2] They gave me the middle and the forenoon too (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) And now I'm pulling on a whaler's crew (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) There's a seagull wheeling overhead (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) I should be sleeping in me feather bed [Chorus] Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning Oh, what a terrible sight to see Dabtoe's forward and the dustman's aft Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft [Verse 3] We kissed goodbye on the midnight bus (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) She didn't cry and she didn't fuss (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) Am I the one she loves the best (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest? (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) [Chorus] Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning Oh, what a terrible sight to see Dabtoe's forward and the dustman's aft Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft [Verse 4] An Amazon girl lived in Dumfries (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) She only had her kids in the twos and threes (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) Her sister lives in Maryhill (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) She says she won't, and I know she won't (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) [Chorus] Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning Oh, what a terrible sight to see Dabtoe's forward and the dustman's aft Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft [Verse 5] I met another girl in Donny-B (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) And she did make a fool of me (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) Her heart was like a pusser's shower (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) From hot to cold in a quarter of an hour (Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) [Chorus] Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning Oh, what a terrible sight to see Dabtoe's forward and the dustman's aft Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft Hi-yo, chicken on a raft Hey-oh, chicken on a raft
