"Stowaway" - by Lisa Lassiter

What shall we do with a stowaway,
In the morning?

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!

Make him walk the plank a’beggin’,
In the morning.

Throw him overboard screaming like a lass,
In the afternoon.

Put him in a longboat with no rations,
In the evening.

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!

Hang him by the neck in a running bowline,
In the morning.

Douse him in oil and cover him in feathers,
In the afternoon.

Then let him bake in the sun,
In the afternoon.

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!

How about we set’im a’fire,
In the evening?

We can spray salt and water in his eye,
In the morning.

No too weak; show him the captain’s daughter,
In the afternoon or evening.

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!

Strip him naked first,
In the morning.

Slap him like a wench,
In the afternoon.

Split ‘is head wit’ an axe,
In the evening.

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!

Shave his bullocks with a rusty dagger,
In the morning.

Get him drunk on whiskey,
In the afternoon.

Let him heave it and lick it up,
In the evening.

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!

Dress’im up in wenches clothin’,
In the morning.

Bend him over,
In the afternoon.

Serve him for dinner,
In the evening.

Yo ho ho! Catch the wave and watch the ship sway,
Any time of day!
