A Pirate's Life for Me Lyrics


Ahoy me mateys of me crew

Get ready for sailin’ and some brew

For we be goin’ on a glorious quest

To do what we pirates do best!

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be!

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be

Ready this plank to be walked

We take no prisoners; there’s no time for talk!

Hardy and unbroken we remain

With mighty beards that cannot be tamed

With a hook for a hand and a tattered sash

A patch to cover eye lost in a clash

We fight and we drink while we laugh and sing

And enjoy all the pleasures which life can bring!

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be

Bum ba rum ba rum ba bumpabee

Bump ba rump ba rump ba ree

Bum ba rum hurrumph ba rum rum rum

Bum ba rum ba bah bur

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be

Hoist the colors high so all can see

We instill fear by mere mention of name

Lords, drunken, and pirates we be!

Yar har har ar har hey!

Bum ba rum ba rum ba bumpabee

Bump ba rump ba rump ba ree

Bum ba rum hurrumph ba rum rum rum

Bum ba rum ba bah bur

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be

Yo ho ho!

It’s the pirate’s life for me

Yo ho ho!

‘Cause pirates are all we can be
