Alestorm - Chicken on a Raft lyrics

Skipper's in the wardroom drinking gin
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
I don't mind knocking but I ain't going in
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Jimmy's laughing like a drain
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Been looking at comic cuts again
Hey oh, chicken on a raft

Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
The dabtoes forward and the dustmen aft
Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
They gave me the middle and the forenoon too
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Now I'm pulling in the whaler's crew
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Seagull wheeling ovеrhead
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
I ought to bе flogging in a feather bed
Hey oh, chicken on a raft

Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
The dabtoes forward and the dustmen aft
Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft

We kissed goodbye on the midnight bus
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
She didn't cry, she didn't fuss
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Am I the man that she loves best?
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest?
Hey oh, chicken on a raft

Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
The dabtoes forward and the dustmen aft
Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft

An Amazon girl lives in Dumfries
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
She only has kids in twos and threes
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Her sister lives in Maryhill
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
She says she won't but I think she will
Hey oh, chicken on a raft

Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
The dabtoes forward and the dustmen aft
Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
Well I had a little girl in Donny B
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
And did she make a fool of me
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Her heart was like a Pusser's shower
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
From hot to cold in a quarter of an hour
Hey oh, chicken on a raft

Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
The dabtoes forward and the dustmen aft
Sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
Hey oh, chicken on a raft
Oy oh, chicken on a raft
