the pirate song (i want to sing and dance)
Singer:ray stevens
sixteen men on a dead man's chest!
yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
mates! you're sailing with long john blackbeard pegleg patcheye hook!
the scourge of the bounty main!
black-heartedest pirate captain ever sailed the seven seas!
heel over to yonder spanish galleon
lay a few broadsides again' her timbers
swing over there on these here lanyards with our cutlasses in our teeth
cut out the rivets and split the booty!
i don't like it and i don't wanna do it!
it's tacky! and don't look at me that way. well
i want to be a pirate in the pirates of penzance
wear me silver buckle slippers and me tight shiny pants
i want to sing and dance!
you wanna sing and dance? hah!
you don't like plunderin'
eh? shiver me timbers. how 'bout treasurin'
pearls and gold doubloons! british soverigns
silver chalices encrusted with diamonds and jewels!
necklaces and bracelets of every shape and size
fit for the crown heads of europe
and all buried in a pirate's chest and i just happen to know where. how 'bout that me bloodthirsty buckos! ha ha ha!
i don't like it and i don't want it!
ye don't want it. and i won't do it! i'm an artiste!
i want to be a pirate in the pirates of penzance
wear me silver buckle slippers and me tight shiny pants
i want to sing and dance!
now listen here! this ain't no floating gilbert and sullivan show
for some little flittin' tinkerbell!
this here be a black-hearted pirate ship
and i'd have you keelhauled if you weren't me own flesh and blood you little twit!
so you don't like plunderin'
and you don't want no treasurin'
then you probably don't want no groggin' and revelin' and wenchin' and rummin' either
you wanna know the truth?
it's not me. i don't want it. well
as if i didn't already bleeding know. i want to sing and dance
i know! and wear your tight little shiny pants!
we'll all sing and dance!
i said we'll all sing and dance!
or you'll walk the plank!
i want to be a pirate in the pirates of penzance
i kind of like it me own self
i thought you would. i want to sing and dance!
sixteen men on a dead man's chest
yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum
i might like a little perrier. with a lime in it. a little perrier with a lime in it. he wants a lime in it!
do you have any escargot?
might have a bit of a salad
how about a bleeding fingerbowl?
maybe a croissant. is that right? those french make everything so hard! why didn't they just call it a bun?
