A mason's shanty


What shall we do with a drunken mason,

What shall we do with a drunken mason,

What shall we do with a drunken mason,

Early in the morning?

Chuck him in the lighthouse till he's sober.

Put him in the lighthouse and make him build her.

What shall we do with a drunken tender?

Lock him in the brickyard 'til he gets sober.

Put him in the wheelbarrow with mortar on him.

Put him in the wheelbarrow with mortar on him

Put him in the wheelbarrow with mortar on him

Chop him with a trowel and wet him all over

Tie him to the scaffold when she's 6 block under

Heave him by the leg in a bright mason line.

Scrape the hair off his chest with a mortar trowel.

Give 'im a dose of lime and mortar.

Stick on his back a parge coat plaster

Keep him there and make 'im parge 'er.

Give 'im a taste of the mason's rope-end.

What'll we do with a Limey sailor?

Soak him in mud til he lays ‘em quicker.

What shall we do with the Queen o' mud now?

What shall we do with a Virgin Mary?

Add vodka!
