[Verse 1]
I once knew a pirate named Bob,
B-O-B, Bob was a drunken old slob,
B-O-B, Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock,
but Bob,     he made it to the [Interlude] top.
 
 
[Chorus]
He said, "You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine,
you have your lemons and I'll have my limes".
"Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes,
you swing from your tree and I'll swing from [Interlude] mine".
 
 
[Verse 2]
He said, "I'd rather make love than have a war,
I rather make millions than to ever be poor".
"I'd rather be happy than to have anymore,
       guess, I'm a little tangled in a vine?
 
[Chorus]
He said, "You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine,
you have your lemons and I'll have my limes".
"Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes,
you swing from your tree and I'll swing from [Interlude] mine".
 
[Interlude]
    I'll swing from mine.
 
[Verse 3]
Now, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from my tree
and we'll all be happy sometimes.
You swing from your tree and I'll swing from my tree,
we'll all be happy sometimes.
 
[Chorus]
You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine,
you have your lemons and I'll have my limes.
Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes,
you swing from your tree and I'll swing from [Interlude] mine.
 
 
[Ending]
You have your whiskey and I'll drink my wine,
you save your dollar and I'll spend my dime.
You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine.
   We'll all be happy sometimes
and we'll all be happy sometimes
