Текст песни The Beast of Pirate’s Bay (Original version) - Voltaire

Gather weary travellers
I have a tale to tell
It might just save your life
But only if you listen well
′Cause there before the breakers
And just around the way
There's a sign
That says: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate′s Bay"
Some say he's a guppy
A kid threw in the sea
He ate so many sailors
Now he's bigger than a tree
His teeth as sharp as scissors
His claws, they are like knives
And if you think he′s ugly
Wait till you see his insides
Oh, don′t you sail
And don't you row
And certainly don′t you swim
'Cause if you aren′t careful
You'll end up inside of him
He′ll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate's Bay"
Some say he′s a serpent
And came straight from Hell
To eat the souls of pirates
And other ne′er-do-wells
Some, they don't believe it
As for me I′ve got a hunch
'Cause they used to have some pirates here
But he ate them all for lunch
Don′t you sail
And don't you row
And certainly don′t you swim
'Cause if you aren't careful
You′ll end up inside of him
He′ll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate′s Bay"
Well, Captain – You've heard of him
He came to Pirate′s Bay
Seems his little nemesis had nearly gotten away
He reached into the water
To grab at Peter Pan
There was a crunch and a scream
Now that scurvy captain's got hooks on both his hands
Oh, don′t you sail
And don't you row
And certainly don't you swim
′Cause if you aren′t careful
You'll end up inside of him
He′ll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate′s Bay"
The black-bearded pirate – you know for what he's feared
It′s mostly for the dark imposing colour of his beard
He saw the beast and now nobody's scared of him because
His beard turned white
And all agree
He looks like Santa Clause
Don't you sail
And don′t you row
And certainly don′t you swim
'Cause if you aren′t careful
You'll end up inside of him
He′ll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate′s Bay"
Now the tavern's empty
And there's only you and me
And if you care I′d like to share
How this song came to be
So come a little closer
If you really want to know
This very sad and woeful tale
Happened so long ago
I was just little boy
When I went to Pirate′s Bay
And there I saw a creature
That was very much dismayed
With a harpoon in his dorsal fin
And a hook stuck in his side
This mighty whale was in such pain
We both began to cry
I pushed and I shoved
But he wouldn't give way
Into the deeper waters
Of our shallow Pirate′s Bay
All I could do to help him
Was to keep people away
So I wrote a sign that said: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate's Bay"
And what did it say?
Don′t you sail
And don't you row
And certainly don′t you swim
'Cause if you aren't careful
You′ll end up inside of him
He′ll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You better stay away
Heed the sign that says: "Beware
¬Hell I should know I put it there
Heed the sign that says: "Beware
The Beast of Pirate′s Bay"
