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)
The jimmy's laughin' like a drain
(Hi-yo, chicken on a raft)
He's lookin' at me Comic Cuts again
(Hi-yo, chicken on a raft) [continues throughout]
Hey! 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
And now I'm pullin' on a whaler's crew
Seagulls wheelin' overhead
I should be sleepin' in me featherbed
Hey! 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
She only had her kids in the twos and threes
Her sister lives in Maryhill
She says she won't, but I think she will
Hey! 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 had a little girl in Donny-B
And she did make a fool of me
Am I the man she loves the best
Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest?
Hey! 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
