ah! see those sober sailors
and drink away yer scurvy
the world's turned topsy-turvy
won't start a new venture
are drunk and far from thirsty
when the waves are ragin' hardest
as bait to feed the sharks with
we'll brave the dangerous seas
and they will see our flag the farthest
ye can ask the tavern wenches
they all know me mast's the largest
it's a pirate's life for me
chests and booty - i'd like to see
i'll cross the seas to find a piece
i'm speakin' of gold and riches
i'll take all i can load my ship with
ladies sail the seas with me
to see how real a moby dick is
you can put my ass on blast
you'll never shoot me down
we're paid doubloons to play our tunes
on top of the loot we've found
so make room on the poopdeck
grab a shovel and help me dig
if the spoils are less than treasure
we'll lock you up in the galleon brig
the x will mark the jackpot
then we'll be met with the black spot
i'm a crackshot with me musket here
like a swashbucklin' buccaneer
if you spot our jolly roger near
you'll see just what all landlubbers fear
we've sprung a leak! struck from the rear!
pick up your trusty bucket
how the seas have blackened
failure's hard to swallow but that's
all we'll feed the kraken!
we'll blast him outta the water
haul our cargo back to harbor
only men of mine left behind are those
who don't know port from starboard!
we'll never be ripped asunder
through thunderstorms and sunburns
even when we be seasick drunkards
and we'll sing a salty shanty
should our sorry ship go under
then we'll spend some time with davy jones
where sunken sailors slumber!
you can put my ass on blast
you'll never shoot me down
we're paid doubloons to play our tunes
on top of the loot we've found
so make room on the poopdeck
it be all that i've brung to drink
or the kraken catches up with me
better men have met worse fates
stabbed in the back by yer first mates
and constant want of bananas
are you one of us? if you're not to trust
then we'll launch you to land from our cannons
lest your stern get beat and rammed!
ye can barely wield a cutlass
much less even read a compass
pray the mermaids give ye guidance
cuz you're just as dumb as colombus
the cracklin' bones of captains old
shall never shiver me timbers
i don't parlay with the dead
i'm leaving these skeletons splintered
you can put my ass on blast
you'll never shoot me down
we're paid doubloons to play our tunes
on top of the loot we've found
so make room on the poopdeck
