Rise and Shine!

A poem recited in the minutes after wakey-wakey, usually in a faint attempt to get the sleepy sailors to rise out of their racks. "Wakey, wakey, rise and shine! You've had yours and I've had mine. Hands off cocks, on socks, its breakfast time!" Historically, the term was "rouse and shine".
