Me dad said I was evil when my youth had come to pass I had the disposition of a shark with painful gas Me mother told me piracy is what you'll need to pass So I told me mother thanks and I kicked me father's... well... (Chorus) It's a short, hard life when you do what we do Grabbing silver and gold and a little booty, too And how do you survive when you sail the ocean blue. Me mother said please, be sure and eat your peas To avoid the scurvies when you're pirating the seas. A pirate lives for killin', for blood and guts and gore Though when the day is over, you still need somethin' more But women were scarce when you signed to come aboard So you grab the cabin boy and you treat him like a... well... (Chorus) A cabin boy on his knees does what we please And he loves to appease when he's pirating the seas It's tough when your captain is damned insane He once steered our ship into a huge hurricane He ran up aloft to survey his domain We felt warm, yellow rain when he drained his main... well... (Chorus) The captain said, "freeze", pulled his pants to his knees Cause he likes to feel the breeze when he's pirating the seas. We ran across a merchantman and blew their mast apart They wouldn't give up, our gunner took it to heart. He gave a foul breeze not on the weather chart. They surrendered like France when he cut a smelly... well... (Chorus) We ignored their pleas, and stole their currencies And it stank like cheese, when you're pirating the seas. We sailed 'round Cape Horn where it's windy and cold To stay warm we gathered into a huddled mold Someone must have left his pants down in the hold 'Cause I wasn't asked a question, but I certainly was polled... Uh... well... (Chorus) The cold makes you sneeze, sometimes you just freeze Frost bites your pee-pees, when you're pirating the seas. (Chorus) We're the worst enemies, we do what we please And everybody flees, when we're pirating the seas.
