20 mintutes later, they were at yet another station. This time, they had to pick a song and sing it together.
"Any good ideas?" asked Westphalen.
Crocker shook his head. "Not really. But I would prefer a folk song or something like that. You know, something that everybody knows."
O'Neill, who had been thinking hard about this, suddenly got an idea. "How about 'What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor'?"
Hitchcock was glowing. "Oh yes, that would be perfect."
Bridger looked around at their little group, and especially at the people who had been in the lifeboat when they had sang this song the first time. "Does everybody know the lyrics and melody?"
Everybody nodded.
Nathan smiled. "Okay, it looks like nobody has a problem with this song." He turned to Crocker. "Will you be our conductor?"
Manilow nodded and started to show everyone where to stand. Then, he started to sing the first notes and pointed at each of the others when they were supposed to join in:
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

What shall we do with the drunken sailor early in the morning?
