Lyric Chicken On A Raft

Skipper s in the wardroom drinking gin, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
I don t mind knocking but I ain t going in, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Jimmy s laughing like a drain, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Been looking at m comic cuts again. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

Chorus:
Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning, oh what a terrible sight to see,
Dabtoes for d and the Dustmen aft, sitting there picking at a chicken on a raft .
Hey -oh, chicken on a raft, Oy -oh, chicken on a raft.
Hey -oh, chicken on a raft, Oy -oh, chicken on a raft.

They gave me the Middle and the Forenoon too, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
And now I m pulling in the whaler s crew, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Seagulls wheeling overhead, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
I ought to be flogging in a feather bed. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

I had a little girl in Donny B , (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
And oh, she made a fool of me, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Her heart was like a Pusser s shower, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
From hot to cold in a quarter of an hour. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

An Amazon girl lives in Dumfries, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She only has kids in twos and threes, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Her sister lives in Maryhill, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She says she won t but I think she will. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

We kissed goodbye on the midnight bus, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She didn t cry, she didn t fuss, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Am I the man that she loves best? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Or am I just a cuckoo in another man s nest? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
