with ROBBING! Robbing the wealthy!
Eb C
And LOOTING! The corporate stores!
Eb F
DRINKING! The cup never ending!
Eb C
And WENCHING! We’re all such sweet whores!
And it’s ARR, ARR, ARR MATEY, ARR! It’s the Pyrate’s life for me!
The BOOTY, the GROG, livin’ HIGH on the HOG –
and sailin’ over the sea! Yes, sailing over the sea!

And it’s ARR, ARR, ARR MATEY, ARR! It’s the Pyrate’s life for me!
The BOOTY, the GROG, livin’ HIGH on the HOG –
and sailin’ over the sea! Yes, sailing over the sea!
