What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

Ok is it just me or does that song have some sort of homosexual connotation?

 

Thanks

 

the lyrics:

Chorus
Way hay, up she rises
Way hay, up she rises
Way hay, up she rises
Earl-eye in the morning.


What shall we do with a drunken sailor? (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Put him in a long-boat till he's sober. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Trice him up in a runnin' bowline. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Tie him to the tasffrail when she's yard-arm under. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Take 'im and shake 'im and try an' wake 'im. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Give 'im a dose of salt and water. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Stick on 'is back a mustard plaster. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Soak 'im in oil till he sprouts a flipper. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Shave his belly with a rusty razor. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

Put him in the guard room till he gets sober. (3 times)
Earl-eye in the morning!

 

kp-
that's obviously a homosexual reference.

 

It's just you.

 

Listen to "Chicken Hunting" by ICP. It's definately not homosexual.

 

"Ok is it just me or does that song have some sort of homosexual connotation?"

I doubt it. It's just a list of the many things one can do with a drunken sailor. Early in the morning, at least. The song does not say what one can do with a drunken sailor at any other time of the day.

Amazing.

 

I always thought that a 100 degree day at noon is a great time to shave someone's back.

Without lubrication, that is.

With a dull razor, that is.

I don't understand this thread. Is this about the metric system?

 

**shivers at the thought** used to sing this song in choir

 

Gah! We used to sing this hated song last year for every performance. But I got to wear a Hawaiian shirt, so that was fun.

After a performance at Homecoming, some of the tenors were talking to an alum. They called me over and said, "Nicole, what would YOU do with a drunken sailor?" This was a big joke amongst us, so I replied, "I'd take advantage of him!"

This scary alum with red contacts suddenly jumped on me like a bulldog in heat. Turns out he was a sailor. [face_puke]

 

Whatever you do...do NOT mess with drunken Navy SEALS, divers, EOD(bomb squad) and Special Boat Unit(gunboats) sailors...

Fighter pilots and aircrew sailors and SeaBees are fair game and you may proceed!

 

This guy's a sailor...he's in New York...we get this guy laid, and no problem!
