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)
Well, 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
Dabtoe's for'ard and the dustman's aft
Sittin' there pickin' 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
They gave me the middle and the forenoon too
(Hi-yo, chicken on a raft)
And now I'm pullin' on a whaler's crew
(Hi-yo, chicken on a raft)
There's a seagull wheelin' overhead
(Hi-yo, chicken on a raft)
I should be sleepin' in me featherbed
(Hi-yo, chicken on a raft)
Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
Dabtoe's for'ard and the dustman's aft
Sittin' there pickin' 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
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)
Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
Dabtoe's for'ard and the dustman's aft
Sittin' there pickin' 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
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)
Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
Dabtoe's for'ard and the dustman's aft
Sittin' there pickin' 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
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)
Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning
Oh, what a terrible sight to see
Dabtoe's for'ard and the dustman's aft
Sittin' there pickin' 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
