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
Hey, 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 overhead
Hey-oh, chicken on a raft
I ought to be flogging in a feather bed
Hey-oh, chicken on a raft
Hey, 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
Hey, 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
Hey, 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
Hey, 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
