We are Plainly Pirates ‘cos we’re all wearing beards
Scary pirate hats and earrings in our ears
We sail our ships and plunder everywhere we go
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho

Hoist the Jolly Roger and find the treasure chest
Shivering our timbers and shaking all the rest
Time to splice the mainbrace, steady as ye go
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho

When you see the skull and cross bones, scuttling a wreck
A parrot on my shoulder and a monkee on the deck
We’ll make you walk the plank, visit Davy Jones
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho

Blood dripping from a cutlass, a pistol to my head
Brave souls turning gutless, fifteen good men dead
Once a smile grinning gold, now is gaping lead
Rigging torn and favours gone, decks are running red

Lost all count of conquests, romantic legends grow
Of ladies loved and lives I took to send them down below
But all that I remember of my last tide’s ebb and flow is
Drinking rum and singing…

Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing
Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho
