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
