So apparently chicken on a raft is scrambled eggs on top of toast. This shanty is actually about the repetitive nature of the breakfasts that sailors would have. That's why it's a terrible sight to see.
Actually, the character is hungover, making it doubly terrible, because he'll be even sicker due to the underprepared nature of the 'Chicken on a raft' where the sticky, uncooked bit of the eggwhite is quite disgusting to behold. He may throw up, revealing to "The Jimmy", his lieutenant, that he has been drinking the other night and therefore earning himself a punishment. In fact, reading further into it, he may already have had earned the punishment, because they gave him double shift - "They gave me middle and the forenoon too."
The reason it wouldn't be in AC4 is because the song wasn't made until 1967 by a guy in the Royal Navy. It would be a funny Easter Egg but is more than a little bit past the date when the game takes place.
***** Everything in the game, whilst not fitting the exact date, existed around the pirating era and setting the game took place in, jumping ahead a little bit when necessary. 1967 is more than just a little jump forward.
The original sounds more of the way it should More Irish folk music Instead of what the new stuff sounds like(very mainstream sounding) I defiantly agree with you

@@classiestudios1565 THis is the version that was on the site around 2009 which was when I found it. Those last couple years of high school were a weird time for me.
This a version sung by the English folk group The Young Tradition, recorded in 1967, featuring Peter Bellamy, Royston Wood and Heather Wood ( no relation). The "New" version is one recorded by the composer of the song, a Royal Navy ex-sailor Cyril Tawney, who left the navy to become a professional folk singer in 1959, and refers scathingly to an unpopular dish of fried egg on fried bread regularly served for breakfast in the Royal Navy. So you could say the "new" version is really the "original". Lecture over.
DasMoonBat We actually got a cease and desist order with the first song we had on the site. The song that is on chickenonaraft.com now is the original version of the song anyway.
I know they just mean eggs and toast, but it’s so funny to imagine a sailor on a bad Monday morning, seeing an actual chicken float by on a raft, and wondering what else could possibly go wrong today.
Lyrics (it's catchy tho): Skipper's in the wardroom drinking gin, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) I don't mind knocking but I ain't going in, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) 'Jimmy's' laughing like a drain, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Been looking at m' 'comic cuts' again. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Chorus: Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning, oh what a terrible sight to see, 'Dabtoes' for'd and the Dustmen aft, sitting there picking at a 'chicken on a raft'. Hey -oh, chicken on a raft, Oy -oh, chicken on a raft. Hey -oh, chicken on a raft, Oy -oh, chicken on a raft. They gave me the Middle and the Forenoon too, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) And now I'm pulling in the whaler's crew, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Seagulls wheeling overhead, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) I ought to be 'flogging' in a feather bed. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) I had a little girl in 'Donny B', (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) And oh, she made a fool of me, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Her heart was like a Pusser's shower, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) From hot to cold in a quarter of an hour. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) An Amazon girl lives in Dumfries, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) She only has kids in twos and threes, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Her sister lives in Maryhill, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) She says she won't but I think she will. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Ok, so i was in math class and my friend wanted to show me this song but he didn't have headphones. He forgot to turn the volume down low so he played it and it was on full volume. The whole class was suddenly listening to "Chicken on a Raft" in math. My friend tried to turn it off but it kept playing so he chucked it in a corner but it kept playing. He had to go pick it up and turn it off in front of the class. I was in tears it was so funny.

Chicken on a Raft, which is in the call and response style of sea shanties. The song makes reference to an unpopular dish served in the Royal Navy, consisting of fried egg on fried bread, called "chicken on a raft."
I agree that this should be a shanty in AC4. at least it could be an easter egg. There are some things in AC4 that not fits the date, like many building for example are related to later dates, but they took them in the game, becuse they found many of them too iconically and important to lay away.
One time my brother got a virus on his phone that made it to where he couldn't leave this website no joke he eventually fixed it but still he had to stay on this screen so long
One morning when I walked into class the teacher turned on the the computer and put the sound over the classroom intercom and this song started playing and when she finally found the song on the computer it said you have been on a raft with a chicken for 1 hour and 45 minutes!
We kissed goodbye on the midnight bus, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) She didn't cry, she didn't fuss, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Am I the man that she loves best? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft) Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

No its about a chicken on a raft, can't you see he's in thr video lol
Actually, the character is hungover, making it doubly terrible, because he'll be even sicker due to the underprepared nature of the 'Chicken on a raft' where the sticky, uncooked bit of the eggwhite is quite disgusting to behold. He may throw up, revealing to "The Jimmy", his lieutenant, that he has been drinking the other night and therefore earning himself a punishment. In fact, reading further into it, he may already have had earned the punishment, because they gave him double shift - "They gave me middle and the forenoon too."
Every now and then, I need a full dose of this.
same blood, same.
Man, I wish this was in Assassin's Creed IV...
Seriously? I disagree. It is a funny song, but I don't think it fits the game very well.
The reason it wouldn't be in AC4 is because the song wasn't made until 1967 by a guy in the Royal Navy. It would be a funny Easter Egg but is more than a little bit past the date when the game takes place.
lol that would be awesome
***** Everything in the game, whilst not fitting the exact date, existed around the pirating era and setting the game took place in, jumping ahead a little bit when necessary. 1967 is more than just a little jump forward.
This is about submarines and Assassins Creed is shite.
I love the original better than the new one to be honest.
The original sounds more of the way it should
More Irish folk music
Instead of what the new stuff sounds like(very mainstream sounding)
I defiantly agree with you
bigzcuz Irish? It was written by Cyril Tawney who came from Devon, ENGLAND.
Where is the original?
it sounds more irish though where he is from shouldnt matter
bigzcuz It's a northern English accent, not an Irish one.
Went on a canoeing trip with the boy scouts one year. I made sure everyone going knew this song before hand.

chicken on a raft: fried egg on toast
Jimmy: Jimmy-the-One, i.e. 1st lieutenant
comic cuts: orders (originally WWI British Army jargon for Divisional Orders)
dabtoes: seamen (not specialist ratings)
dustmen: engine room specialist ratings (originally stokers)
middle, forenoon: watches
whalin' crew: whaler's crew
whaler: ship's boat
pusser: purser, i.e. notoriously tight-fisted
Rest in peace Mr. Geoffrey Drumheller, you will be missed.
I just spent 3 minutes and 23 seconds on a raft with a chicken.
At least it wasn't 10 hours.
This version is much better than the new one!
I like both and simply would like the choice between the two on the site.
Gigas0101 I sent them an e-mail asking that, it is on their site, why don't you do it to? Then hopefully we will get to choose.
I did as well, no response but another drop in the proverbial budget. Maybe enough e-mails and they'll put up the option.

We kissed goodbye on the midnight bus, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She didn't cry, she didn't fuss, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Am I the man that she loves best? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
