Pirate Lads Are Coming to Town

Ye better not fight
Ye better not hide
Better to run
I’m tellin’ ye why
Pirate Lads are comin’ to town

We’ll search the town once,
we’ll check it twice
Gonna find loot all sparkly and nice
Pirate Lads are comin’ to town

We’ll find where ye are hiding
All yer high-priced stuff
We might e’en grab a wench or two
We can never get enough

O! Ye better not fight
Ye better not hide
Better to run
I’m tellin’ ye why
Pirate Lads are comin’ to town

Muskets a-fire
Cutlass a-swing
Many a lass give plenty a scream
Pirate Lads are comin’ to town

Give us yer gold
Silver, too
Wouldn’t say no to a gem or two
Pirate Lads are comin’ to town

We’ll find where ye are hiding
All yer high-priced stuff
We might e’en grab a wench or two
We can never get enough

Ye better not fight
Ye better not hide
Better to run
I’m tellin’ ye why
Pirate Lads are comin’ to town


Let it Blow! Let it Blow! Let it Blow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
but the grog be so delightful
and since we've no place to go
let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And the sails be always popping
The boys be hunkered down below
let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

When it’s finally time for watch
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But as long as the rum is near
All the night long I’ll be warm

The deck is pitching madly
And we watch the waves break wildly
As long as we’ve ports to go
let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

Oh the weather outside is frightful
but the grog be so delightful
since we've no place to go
let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And the sails are always popping
The boys be hunkered down below
let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

When it’s finally time for watch
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But as long as the rum is near
All the night long I’ll beOh the weather outside is frightful
but the grog be so delightful
since we've no place to go
let it blow, let it blow, let it blow


You’re a mean one, Captain Hook

You’re a mean one, Captain Hook
You’re slippery as cold steel
You be as cuddly as a cannon
You’re charming as an eel
Captain Hook
You’re a rotten ship with a barnacled keel

You’re a robber, Captain Hook
Ye hate an empty hold
Ye like lots of loot and gems
You’re stingy and you’re cold
Captain Hook
Ye wouldn’t share a single
Dubloon of gold

You’re a vile one
Captain Hook
Ye have weevils in your smile
You have half the tender sweetness of that ticking crocodile, Captain Hook
Given the choice,
I’d take the ticking crocodile

You’re a foul one, Captain Hook
Ye hunt lost boys on a whim
Ye sharpen up your hook
Hope to rip them limb from limb
Captain Hook
You be a three-decker whale fat sandwich,
With ground up fish sauce

You are ruthless, Captain Hook
You’re the king of dog-eat-dog
Your crew be just as brutal, ye all deserve to rot
Captain Hook
Your ship be an appalling wreck
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of rubbish humanity imaginable,
Someday you’ll be lined up and shot!

You’re a slime ball, Captain Hook
Like a hand full of nauseous slugs
Ye run a crooked ship
full of hairy rats and bugs
Captain Hook
The three best words that best describe you,
Be as follows, and I quote
Skewed!
Rude!
Crude!

We Three Lads

We three lads of pirate ships arr!
To get plunder we will go farrr!
Gold doubloons from blue lagoons
With a great pirate “Arrr!”

Refrain

Arrrrr! Pirates rule the seven seas
See our flag with quakin’ knees
Burst asunder, take yer plunder!
There’s nothin’ we won’t seize.


Pirate life be lonely I’m told
All me nights arrr spent in the hold
Snoring, burping, sleep usurping
I sit up an’ count me gold.

Refrain

When we get to port best beware!
Give us rum; a wench with red hair
Singin’, drinkin’, Sally’s winkin’
Pirate lads party with flair!

Refrain

All I Want Fer Christmas is a New Peg Leg

All I want fer Christmas
Is a new peg leg
a new peg leg
Aye, a new peg leg

Arr, if I could only
Have a new peg leg
I could have a
Pirate Christmas

It’s been so long since I could run
And dance a sailor’s jig under the moon light
Avast maties, how happy I’d be
To kick yer arse in a good fight!

All I want fer Christmas
Is a new eye patch
a new eye patch
Aye, a new eye patch

Arr, if I could only
Have a new eye patch
I could have a
Pirate Christmas

I lost me eye a time ago
me patch is gettin’ old and brittle
with a new eye patch I won’t
Put the lads off of their vittle

All I want fer Christmas
Is a new eye patch
a new eye patch
Aye, a new eye patch

Arr, if I could only
Have a new eye patch
I could have a
Pirate Christmas

Arr, if I could only
Have a new peg leg
I could have a
Pirate Christmas

O Tavern Wench


O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
How lovely are your glasses

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
You’re prettiest of lasses

Ye bring me ale,
Ye bring me grub
Ye smack me when
Your rear I rub.

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
How lovely are your glasses

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
I’ll bring ye lots o’ plunder

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
Don’t send my heart asunder

Ye fit so nicely on me lap
Come give me face a playful slap.

O Tavern Wench
O Tavern Wench
I’ll bring ye lots o’ plunder


I Sank Three Ships On Christmas Day

I sank three ships on Christmas day,
on Christmas day, on Christmas day,

I sank three ships on Christmas day,
on Christmas day in the morning.

And what was in their holds all three
on Christmas day, on Christmas day

And what was in their holds all three
on Christmas day in the morning

Gold doubloons and pretty jewels,
on Christmas day, on Christmas day

Gold doubloons and pretty jewels,
on Christmas day in the morning.


God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads

God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads
We’re plunderin’ this day.
We’ll soon be rich and spend it all,
‘cause that’s the pirate way.

We’ll sail the seas and hoist the jib,
And try ter to fill our hold
With coins made of silver and gold, silver and gold
With coins made of silver and gold.

God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads
There’s rum for all the crew!
Bang your cup upon the plank
And ye will get your due.

For Christmas on a pirate ship
Means hangover by morn
Oh I shouldna had that last spot o’ rum, spot o’ rum
I shouldna had that last spot o’ rum!

God Rest Ye Merry, Pirate Lads
There’s a ship just off the bow!
Prepare the cannons fore and aft,
‘Cause it is our ship now.

A pirate’s life is full of fights,
We laugh when cannons roar.
Let us plunder a wee bit more, a wee bit more
Let us plunder a wee bit more
