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!
 
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


As has been my recent practice, this filk is written for [community profile] communal_creators, which is full of lovely creative people having fun. Yay!
