| Lyrics: | Chicken on a Raft
(Cyril Tawney)
Skipper in the wardroom drinkin' gin,
Hey yo,
chicken on a raft!
I don't mind knockin', but I ain't goin' in!
Hey yo, chicken on a
raft!
The jimmy's laughin' like it'd rain,
Hey yo, chicken on a raft!
He's lookin' at
me comic cuts again!
Hey yo, chicken on a raft!
cho:Chicken on a raft on a Monday
morning,
Oh, what a terrible sight to see,
Dabtoes forward and the dustmen
aft,
Sittin' there a'pickin' at a chicken on a raft!
Hi, ho, chicken on a raft!
Hey,
ho, chicken on a raft!
Hi, ho, chicken on a raft!
Hey, ho, chicken on a
raft!
Gave me the middle and the forenoon too,
Now I'm pullin' on a whalin'
crew.
Seagulls wheelin' overhead,
I oughter be home in me featherbed!
I had a
little girl in Donny-B,
And did she make a fool of me.
Her heart was like a pusser's
shower,
Run hot to cold in a quarter of an hour!
We kissed goodbye on a midnight
bus,
She didn't cry and she didn't fuss,
Am I that one she loves the best,
Or just a
cuckoo in another man's nest?
An amazon girl lived in Dumfries,
Only had her kids in
two's and three's,
She's got a sister in Maryhill,
Says she won't but I think she
will!
