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
