Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
We pillage, we plunder
We rifle and loot
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage
And don't give a hoot
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
We extort, we pilfer
We filch and sack
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle
And even hijack
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
We kindle and char
And in flame and ignite
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city
We're really a fright
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
We're rascals and scoundrels
We're villains and knaves
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep
And really bad eggs
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Hey
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
We're beggars and blighters
And ne'er do-well cads
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved
By our mommys and dads
Stand up, me hearties, yo ho
Hey
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
Hey
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
Hey
Oh, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho
