I never knew the words to this melody in its entirety. I only knew it as da dadada da-da drunken sailor.
I’ll be honest, I had to look it up, to make sure it was right.
Not much call for singing about drunk sailors anymore.

Fake and dumb. You shave his belly with a rusty razor, something we’ve known for over a century, at least.
He was found in bed with the Captain’s daughter.
I always wondered if it’s implied that she’s ugly or that the sailor will get in trouble with the captain.
The “captain’s daughter” was a euphemism for the cat o’ nine tails. So in other words, that line meant give the drunken sailor a lashing as punishment.

Isn’t it: put him in the hold with the captains daughter? And there I thought captains daughter was slang for a cat o’ nine tails, which was a type of whip. Though if they put him in the hold with the captains actual daughter, that might be a good way to get a guy killed.
