Ye Pyrate's Life be Merrye and Gaye
I wuz born a fierce Pyrate
So me mammy said ta me
Before I could even walk an inch
I was the terror of the sea
I nivver went ta school
Nor any sort o church
I slapped a wench about a bit
then left her in thee lurch (when I was 8 )
By thee toim I was in Long Trousers
Thee king's men were after me
I said goodbye ta mammy
An set sail upon thee sea (after passing me Pirate articles and studying navigation for 4 years)
I swashed me buckle accross the briny
From Nantucket to Mandalay
I nivver shed a tear at all
for a Pirate's life is gaye
Then one day I stood upon thee deck
The First Mate he spoke ta me
He said he loiked thee cut o me jib
An I filled his heart wiv glee
Now it it seemed ta me a strange thing
That a man who loiked a drink
Could stand upon the poop deck
In a dress four shades o pink
I always thought he was a Spanyard
But it seems he comes from Perth
And when he arsked me for a kiss
It filled thee crew with mirth
I had ta let him down kindlee
For I aint that sort o man
But we soon arrived at Bancock
A place of which he was a fan
Altogether now:
Oh Ye Pyrate's Life be Merrye and Gaye
Merrye and Gaye
Merrye and Gaye
Ye Pyrate's Life be Merrye and Gaye
But the First Mate's even Gayer
fixed yer 8 to not be so smiley - Aggie
