Chorus:

So heave her up me pirate boys

We'll heave 'em all away!

We'll spend all our booty in Barbados

Or down Tortuga way!



We'll spend all our money on wine and grog

And the women we find here ashore.

God knows that in just two weeks time

We'll have to go looking for more

For more!

We'll have to go looking for more



Chorus



They say the meek shall inherit the earth

The good book says that it's true.

We say that they can inherit the earth

When and if we are through

Are through!

When and if we are through.



Chorus



They say we are the scourge of the sea.

They don't know that we rule the world

For we own everything in sight

When the Jolly Roger's unfurled

Unfurled!

When the Jolly Roger's unfurled.



Chorus



So make sure that your blades are sharp

And the pistols and cannons are primed

For these are the tools of the trade

When you choose a life of Crime.

Of Crime!

When you choose a life of Crime.



Chorus



They say if they catch us that we'll all be hanged

Trying to play on our fear

But that doesn't' worry most of us at all

Cause we've been hung for years

And years!

Yes, we've been hung for years.



So heave her up me pirate boys

We'll heave 'em all away!

We'll spend all our booty in Barbados

Or down Tortuga way!

Away!

Or down Tortuga way!
