I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



Lived on the land lived by the shore dad stuck around 

till he got bored



Looked to the sky, looked to the sea, shouted to the 

waves, now can't you see



I'm just a lad, I'm all alone my mother's gone, and 

I've got no home



I'll grab my gear and head to town so the whole damn 

wharf can hear my sound



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



Looked about for a seaside bar and didn't have to look 

to far



Went right in and the press gang grinned, so I stepped 

right up and said count me in



The foreman said well bless my soul, I've never seen 

one so bold



Said have a drink and grab your gear we sail with the 

tide so hit the pier



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



Now we saw her clear all fat and slow, laden full and 

sitting low



With a Spanish flag her tale was told, she's bound for 

home with western gold



We'll take her down and strip her bones, we'll send her 

crew to Davey Jones



So man your guns boys man them well and on my mark 

we'll unleash hell



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



We took her hard we took her gold, we used her prize to 

fill our hold



We turned south to Montigo Bay, with a final shot we 

were on our way



We laughed and sang and broke rum out, but we froze 

with the lookout's shout



Two Spanish ships both men-of-war, lying in wait 

between us and shore



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



Their cannons blazed and the mast was gone, we knew it 

would not be long



They stormed the ship and sabers flew, but we rallied 

back cause we all knew



The fight went on though we were lost, we got our gold 

but at what cost



I saw him there, I pulled my blade the Spaniard smiled 

and so I said



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



I saw the thrust and felt the pain, I saw my life begin 

to wan



With a final blow I struck his head, but I knew that 

soon we'd both be dead



We lay there upon the deck as I thought about my own 

doomed trek



I heard a voice from next to me sing in Spanish now 

can't you see that



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



You listen hard, you listen well there are so many 

tales to tell



Beyond the sea, beyond the waves, you'll hear them all 

beyond the graves sing



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.



I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna 

be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.
