LYRICS:
Pirate operator
There's none greater
Blackbeard's my name
Stealing's my game!
It's no surprise I cause a scare
I keep lit tapers in my hair
Now take me to your loot.
I don't need your silver and gold
Cos they're far too heavy in my hold.
Give me cumin, nutmeg, and all of your wine
Anything I can sell will do fine.
Look out cos here we come
Sailing in the hot sun
Flag has got a skull on (see?)
Here's what my advice is,
Hand over your spices
Or get cut into slices.
Anne Bonny, Mary Read
Equal opportunity
Gonna take your rum
Fetch a tidy sum.
Secret sales to the colonies
If you want tea, it's me you see
But don't tell the governor.
We may be bad but in case of dispute
Pirate's code means you'll get your fair loot.
And when we're caught we'll claim pregnancy
It's what known as pleading the belly.
Sail the Caribbean
Underneath the hot sun
Ship with 36 guns
Stealing from everyone
Then sell it back to them
Spend it on having fun.
We're a floating shop
Sell at every stop
Be it sugar or spice
All competitively priced, so...
A pirate's life isn't quite what it seems
Some have even robbed ships for the Queen.
We'll scare you just enough
So you give us your stuff
Cos I'd rather keep my cutlass clean.
(But we will kill you if we have to)
On the ocean we roam
Under skull and crossbones
Galleon is our home.
Stealing is a pleasure
We don't bury treasure
Spend it at our leisure.
Oh, living life on the rum
Underneath the hot sun
Easier said than done (yeah-yeah!)
Cos there'll be retribution
We'll face prosecution
And then execution
Oh, yeah.
