What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor?

What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor? is a sea-shanty that was sung to help sailors in the 19th century complete their tasks effectively. Revived as a popular song among non-sailors in the 20th century, it became one of the best-known shanties among mainstream audiences. It has been performed and recorded by many musical artists.
