Throw him in the brig with the captain's daughter, in one version of the song.

Shave his belly with a rusty razor!
Keelhaul him 'til he's sober!

...I can't remember any of the others.

Depends on how cute he is.

(Okay okay, sorry, I'll play along.)

The only one I can actually remember is "put him in a longboat til he's sober"

Haven't heard the keelhauling or scuttle-putting versions before, but I've heard all the others. Isn't it written by Traditional, anyway?

(Psst: typo in Subject: line.)

There's an old Bob & Tom skit w/ this in it:

"What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Put him in charge of an oil tanker.
..... give him a Captain's ranker
Then hire him at Exxon."

I'll try to find the sound file for it.

Heather Alexander, _Yo Ho_ (recommended):

Feed 'im to the sharks till the bones is floatin'

and then:

Hang him from the mast as a jolly roger!

Well, I haven't been sailing often enough to figure out something innovative, but I did bookmark this (http://www.geocities.com/hornett.geo/song1.html) a while back. It has a bunch of traditional lyrics, and also some rather more modern such as "Put him in the bed with Margaret Thatcher", which is, I think, a bit too much punishment.
