The traditional sea shanty "What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor" humorously explores humorous and absurd solutions for handling an intoxicated sailor. Through repetitive verses, the song suggests humorous actions like shaving his belly with a rusty razor, stowing him in a long boat until sobriety returns, or even placing him in awkward situations like a scupper with a hosepipe bottom or in bed with the captain's daughter.
