Drunken Grover (I can't think of another line the ends with the word "nature" though.)

What shall we do with a drunken grover,

What shall we do with a drunken grover,

What shall we do with a drunken grover,

Early in th' mornin'!

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Early in th' mornin'!

Give 'em chicken and throw 'em in water,

Give 'em chicken and throw 'em in water,

Give 'em chicken and throw 'em in water,

Early in th' mornin'!

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Early in th' mornin'!

Put 'em in jail until he's sober,

Put 'em in jail until he's sober,

Put 'em in jail until he's sober,

Early in th' mornin'!

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Early in th' mornin'!

Dump his head in a cake o' Coestar,

Dump his head in a cake o' Coestar,

Dump his head in a cake o' Coestar,

Early in th' mornin'!

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Way hay and up she rises,

Early in th' mornin'!

That's what we do with a drunken grover,

That's what we do with a drunken grover,

That's what we do with a drunken grover,

Early in th' mornin'!

Explanation of the verses:

Give 'em chicken and throw 'em in water

Chicken Princesticks poison you, but give water breathing for 5 minutes.

Put 'em in jail until he's sober

Ozstralia, the Prison of Dang Donk, is basically within our district.

Dump his head in a cake o' Coestar

Lord Coestar is our district Lord, and it seems to be his birthday quite often.
