Lyrics
What do you do with a drunken sailor
Dealing with the consequences of a drunken sailor
Who do you see in Caligari's mirror
Reflection in Caligari's mirror, suggesting distortion or surrealism
How do you like those pranksters' cheats so early in the morning
Critical inquiry into early morning pranks by mischievous individuals
Hey, hey, boozie sailors
Addressing inebriated sailors with a playful term, "boozie sailors"
Missed the boat
Failing to catch an opportunity or missing out on something
What to do
Contemplating the next steps or actions after missing the opportunity
Hey, hey, boozie sailors
Repetition of addressing drunken sailors, emphasizing their state
Missed the boat
Reiteration of missing the boat and the resulting dilemma
What to do
Continued reflection on the consequences of missing the opportunity
Hey, hey, woozie sailors
Addressing sailors who are both drunk and disoriented
What a mess
Expressing a chaotic or confusing situation
Tie 'em down
Suggesting the need to restrain or control the disordered situation
Walked around
Describing movement, possibly aimless or without a clear purpose
Took a bus
Using public transportation as a means of getting around
Took a bus
Repetition of taking a bus, suggesting routine or monotony
Walked around
Continued wandering or moving without a specific direction
Took a bus
Repeating the act of taking a bus, emphasizing the mundane
Walked around
More aimless wandering or movement without a clear purpose
Walked around
Repetition of aimless walking
Took a bus
Returning to the routine of taking a bus
What do you do with a drunken sailor
Revisiting the consequences of a drunken sailor's actions
Who do you see in Caligari's mirror
Reflecting on distorted perceptions or illusions in Caligari's mirror
Why do you like those pranksters' cheats so early in the morning
Questioning the appeal of early morning pranks by tricksters
Hey, hey, boozie sailors
Repetition of addressing inebriated sailors in a playful manner
Missed the boat
Reiteration of missing an opportunity or failing to act
What to do
Repeating the dilemma of what to do after missing the boat
Hey, hey, woozie sailors
Addressing disoriented sailors with a similar term, "woozie sailors"
What a mess
Reiterating the messy or chaotic situation
Tie 'em down

Hey, hey, oozie sailors

Out the door
