Yo-ho-ho!
to the tune of Get Along, Little Dogies
Sailing the seas
Taking their ease
Their puns and their jokes
Are their weapons of terror
Pieces of eight!
Pieces of eight!
But pieces of nine
Is a parroty error
Yo-ho-ho, we love a good pirate
(We also love naughty ones! Don’t get me wrong)
And it’s yo-ho-ho for the life of a pirate
So shiver me timbers and take me along
Now that one’s a catch!
We love the slow match
As a smouldering grace note
Upon his coiffure
So keep him confused
Off balance, amused
And then reel him in
With fantastic couture!
Yo-ho-ho, we love a good pirate
(We also love naughty ones! Don’t get me wrong)
And it’s yo-ho-ho for the life of a pirate
So shiver me timbers and take me along
They swear and write sonnets
They’ve bees in their bonnets
Those words in their mouths?
You don’t know where they’ve beeeen
Because they inspire it
We all talk like pirates
The whole world joins in
On September 19
Yo-ho-ho, we love a good pirate
(We also love naughty ones! Don’t get me wrong)
And it’s yo-ho-ho for the life of a pirate
So shiver me timbers and take me along
They’re wiley and daring
They leave the town staring
Let double entendres
The censors confound!
They cruise for adventure
They cruise for all sorts of things
Look in the fanfic,
It’s all written down!
It’s all written down!
Yo-ho-ho, we love a good pirate
(We also love naughty ones! Don’t get me wrong)
And it’s yo-ho-ho for the life of a pirate
So shiver me timbers and take me along
