Pirates: With Cat-Like Tread

Upon our prey we steal

In silence dread

Our cautious way we feel

No sound at all

We never speak a word

A fly's foot-fall

Would be distinctly heard



Tarantara, Tarantara.



So stealthily the pirate creeps

While all the household soundly sleeps



Come friends, who plough the sea

Truce to navigation

Take another station

Let's vary piracy

With a little burglary



Here's your crowbar

And your centre bit

Your life preserver

You may want to hit



Your silent matches

Your dark lantern seize

Take your file

And your skeletonic keys



Tarantara,

With Cat like tread

Tarantara

In silence dread



Pirates

In silence dread

A fly's foot-fall

Come friends, who plough the sea

Truce to navigation

Take another station

Let's vary piracy

With a little burglary



With cat like tread

Upon our prey we steal

In silence dread

Our cautious way we feel
