Lyrics The Pirate Song - Ray Stevens
16
men
on
a
dead
man's
chest
Yo
ho-ho
and
a
bottle
of
rum
"Avast
there
mates,
ye're
sailin'
With
Long
John
Black
Beard
Peg-Leg,
Patch-Eye
Hook
Scourge
of
the
bounding
main
Blood-thirstiest,
black-heartiest"
"Pirate
captain
ever
sailed
the
seven
seas
ha,
ha,
ha
What
say
ye,
we
hoist
the
Jolly
Roger
Heel
over
the
yonder
Spanish
galleon
Lay
a
few
broadsides
agin'
her
timers"
"Swing
over
on
these
here
lanyards
With
our
cutlasses
in
our
teeth
Cut
'em
to
ribbons
and
split
the
booty
What
say
ye
to
that,
me
hearties?
Heh,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha"
"I
don't
like
it"
"You
don't
like
it?"
"I
don't
like
it
and
I
don't
wanna
do
it
It's
tacky,
tacky,
tacky
and
don't
look
at
me
that
way"
"Well,
if
you
don't
like
it,
what
do
you
want?"
I
want
to
sing
and
dance,
I
want
to
sing
and
dance
I
want
to
be
a
pirate
in
the
Pirates
of
Penzance
Wear
me
silver
buckled
slippers
and
me
tight
shiny
pants
I
want
to
sing
and
dance
"You
want
to
sing
and
dance,
heh
You
don't
like
plundering,
aye?
Well,
shiver
me
timbers
'ow
'bout
treasuring,
huh?
Rubies,
emeralds
and
pearls
Gold
doubloons
and
British
sovereigns
"Silver
chalices
encrusted
with
diamonds
and
jewels
Necklaces
and
bracelets
of
every
shape
and
size
Fit
for
the
crown
heads
of
Europe,
aye?"
"And
all
buried
in
a
pirate's
chest
And
I
just
happen
to
know
where
How
about
that
me
bloodthirsty
Buckos,
heh?
Ha,
ha,
ha"
"I
don't
like
it"
"You
don't
like
it?"
"I
don't
like
it
and
I
don't
want
it"
"He
don't
want
it"
"And
I
won't
do
it,
I'm
an
artiste"
"An
artiste,
well,
Mister
Artiste,
what
do
you
want?"
I
want
to
sing
and
dance,
I
want
to
sing
and
dance
I
want
to
be
a
pirate
in
the
Pirates
of
Penzance
Wear
me
silver
buckled
slippers
and
me
tight
shiny
pants
I
want
to
sing
and
dance
"Now,
listen
hear,
this
ain't
no
floating
Gilbert
and
Sullivan
show
You
know
for
some
little
flittin'
tinkerbell
This
here
be
a
black
hearted
pirate
ship
And
I
would
have
you
keel
hauled
if
you
weren't
me
Own
flesh
and
blood
you
little
twit!
So
you
don't
like
plunderin'
aye?"
"I
don't
like
it"
"And
you
don't
want
no
treasurin'
ah?"
"I
don't
want
it"
"And
you
probably
don't
want
no
groggin'
and
revelin'
And
wrenchin'
and
rummin'
either
I
suppose?"
"Well,
deep
down
you
want
to
know
the
truth?
It's
not
me,
I
don't
want
it"
"Well,
what
do
you
want
As
if
I
didn't
already
bleedin'
know?"
"I
want
to
sing
and
dance
and"
"I
know,
I
know
and
wear
your
tight
little
shiny
pants
Huh,
okay,
we'll
all
sing
and
dance
I
said,
we'll
all
sing
and
dance
Or
you'll
walk
the
plank,
one,
two,
three"
I
want
to
sing
and
dance,
I
want
to
sing
and
dance
I
want
to
be
a
pirate
in
the
Pirates
of
Penzance
Wear
me
silver
buckled
slippers
and
me
tight
shiny
pants
I
want
to
sing
and
dance
16
men
on
a
dead
man's
chest
Yo
ho-ho
and
a
bottle
of
rum
"I
don't
like
rum"
"You
don't
like
rum?"
"Well,
no,
actually,
well,
I
might
like
a
little
Perrier"
"A
little
Perrier?"
"With
a
lime
in
it"
"A
lime
in
it?
He
wants
a
lime
in
it"
"Well,
do
you
have
any
Escargot?"
"Escar,
what?"
"What's
the
soup
today?"
"Soup?"
"Might
have
a
bit
of
a
salad
too"
"Well,
how
about
a
bleeding
finger
bowl?"
"Maybe
a
croissant,
is
that
right?
Those
French
make
everything
so
hard
Why
didn't
they
just
call
it
a
bun?"
