Pirates

no one promised plenty
when you picked up that guitar
so what's a few less pennies
down in the old tip jar?

you knew the tide was turnin'
when you went against the flow
don't get out in the ocean
if you ain't fit to row

hoist the sails, there lies the gold
it's ours for the takin' and it's more than hull can hold
it ain't illegal, not like before
take down the jolly roger, boys
we're not pirates anymore

now if ye be the poet
you think yourself to be
then you won't mind unstowin'
this riddle I've for thee

what sings for all our pleasure
gives up its heart and mind
earns a world of treasure
and forfeits every dime

hoist the sails, there lies the gold
it's ours for the takin' and it's more than hull can hold
it ain't illegal, not like before
take down the jolly roger, boys
we're not pirates anymore

no, it's all above the board
we're not pirates anymore
the mouse is mightier than the sword

hoist the sails, there lies the gold
it's ours for the takin' and it's more than hull can hold
it ain't illegal, not like before
take down the jolly roger, boys
we're not pirates anymore
yo ho ho
we're not pirates anymore
yo ho ho
