There is a folk song from Newfoundland Canada called the “Drunken Sailor”. Each person sings a different verse.  When everyone has sung a verse the song is over.  The song is easy to play on any instrument or kazoo. It is typically sung “campfire style” with everyone in a line or circle and a new verse being sung by who is next in line.

This song is used to “Screech you in“.

To create a verse you need a four syllable description of who the song is about and one line saying what should happen to them.  The song starts with “Drunken Sailor” and “Shave his belly with a rusty razor.”

Listen

What will we do with the Drunken Sailor

What will we do with the Drunken Sailor

What will we do with the Drunken Sailor

Earl-lie in the morn-in!

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Earl-lie in the morn-in!

Way hey and up she rises

Way hey and up she rises

Way hey and up she rises

Earl-lie in the morn-in!

If you have not made up a description and what should happen you sing “Drunken Sailor” and “Shave his belly with a rusty razor”
