As we begin now this compendium of tales
To ponder on plunder of riches and ales
Think deep on the riddles set forth on these pages
Within lies the path to the treasure of ages
“This cannot be true! You drunken fool!”
The first mate chuckled falling from his stool
The helmsman sat silent a drum in his grip
Wondering how we would finance this trip
“I know of a man the wisest is he
He'll craft us a vessel for a gallon or fifty”
“This plan is too vast we’ll reconvene later”
Said the quartermaster adrift in his paper
“This speaks of a dragon on an Isle long forgotten”
“Never mind that worm I’ll chop off his bottom”
“Be not so hasty gunner my dear
The plan will go justly all lend me your ears
We'll pillage the town taking all of their stores
To pay for the ship the sails and the oars
Then off on adventure we plot course with gladness
With drinking games to stem the madness
Debating for hours which drink is the best
We'll hit the deck then push forth on our quest
To plunder the isle where the dragon now reigns
Then back to the tavern to spend all our gains”

We're drunk yes we're drunk
Many a beer and ale was sunk
We're drunk come on me hearties
Crack out the ales the gin and the rum
Anchored in the docks we're stumbling down the street
Calling ahoy in chorus to everyone we meet
Peeling from the darkness there glows a merry inn
Tempted by the barrels of rum we make our way within
We're drunk yes we're drunk
Many a beer and ale was sunk
We're drunk come on me hearties
Crack out the ales the gin and the rum
The blind leading the blind we're falling through the door
Calling our order to the bar just like we did before
We have our fill of beer and wine then sixty shots of rum
The time has come to pay the tab so grab your drinks and run
Take it all leave nothing behind to pay the craftsman in ale
With all this booze we've nothing to lose our mission will prevail
For tomorrow brings good fortune but tonight we'll rob them all
We'll pillage and plunder the taverns asunder before last orders called
Because we're drunk yes we're drunk
Many a beer and ale was sunk
We're drunk come on me hearties
Crack out the ales the gin and the rum
Make haste the dawn approaches quick
Let us take their casks we must be fast to pay the man for building our ship
Blast! Wasted time we can’t afford
Get these barrels on a roll to make good of all the terms of our accord
Take it all leave nothing behind to pay the craftsman in ale
With all this booze we've nothing to lose our mission will prevail
For tomorrow brings good fortune so tonight let’s rob them all
We’ll pillage and plunder the taverns asunder straight through the cellar door
Took all the wine and more we robbed them blind left nothing behind
But still we hit the floor
Because we're drunk yes we're drunk
Many a beer and ale was sunk
We're drunk come on me hearties
Crack out the ales the gin and the rum
Tomorrow we sail, let’s spend our money on ale
Now let’s get drunk, drunk, drunk hey

Fifty Gallons Of Ale
03:14

|

Upon the trail a drink I had to venture far from home m'lad
So fill yer mug and take a chug as I spin you my tale
Now leave the bottle pass it here to pour myself another m'dear
My only vice it be the price to hear what I regail
Pay me well with fifty gallons of ale
Before the dawn upon that morn he packed his bag to the brim
He filled it high with bottles of rye rums and mothers ruin
He set the sack upon his back ready to depart
Then drained a flagon and hopped a wagon a fine old way to start
For he was the drunkest of men
No drunker man in all the land could drink to him and all his kin
Many a men would try, with tankards up high
He surely would drink them all dry
Upon the trail a drink I had to venture far from home m'lad
So fill yer mug and take a chug as I spin you my tale
Now leave the bottle pass it here to pour myself another m'dear
My only vice it be the price to hear what I regail
Pay me well with fifty gallons of ale
Heave ho... The challenge is set you cannot fail
Hey ho... Take a glass and pour your ale
Yo ho... We'll drink away the night
To the crack of dawn's first light get ready set sail
He built himself a pirate ship, (a pirate ship?) A PIRATE SHIP
A mighty craft with a thousand drafts and rums and beers and ale
Alas we'll need a mighty vessel a sturdy cannon of finest metal
A mast a brig a hull with skull and bones upon the sail
For he was a craftsman of men
No wiser man in all the land could build like him and all his kin
Many a men would try with hammers held high
He’d build our ship into the sky
So here be the tale of an iron livered man
No match for you warriors with swords in their hands
These are the wise words he said unto me
A story of his travels he shouted with glee
“PAY ME WELL WITH ALL THE BARRELS OF ALE”
Upon the trail a drink I had to venture far from home m'lad
So fill yer mug and take a chug as I spin you my tale
Now leave the bottle pass it here to pour myself another m'dear
My only vice it be the price to hear what I regail
Pay me well with fifty gallons of ale
“PAY ME WELL WITH FIFTY GALLONS OF ALE
FIFTY GALLONS OF ALE”

We Pirates

Set sail for adventure we pirates brave and bold
The thrilling life of a buccaneer off hunting treasure gold
We quest for a bounty hunting night and day
We set our course across the seas to islands far away
Set sail for adventure we pirates brave and true
The glorious life of a pirate lord off sailing with his crew
Now row men row men push back to the waves
With strength of arms and braven hearts we pirates set sail
Backs turned to the east our shadows stand tall
Plot a course for the horizon wherever she falls
Back turned to the west as pirates we stand
All hands on deck lads lets cast off from land
Our vessel creaks we ride the seas our sails are filled we catch the breeze
Taking heed of stories old we hunt the seas for spices and gold
Plundering all who cross our way fire the guns leave them in our wake
Set sail for adventure we pirates brave and bold
The thrilling life of a buccaneer off hunting treasure gold
We quest for a bounty hunting night and day
We set our course across the seas to islands far away
Set sail for adventure we pirates brave and true
The glorious life of a pirate lord off sailing with his crew
Now row men row men push back to the waves
With strength of arms and braven hearts we pirates set sail
The stars our guide that keep us true we carve our way on the briny blue
Our path is blocked we change our course from heading south we make for north
Sailing away from the lives we had
Come on put your back into it lads
Set sail for adventure we pirates brave and bold
The thrilling life of a buccaneer off hunting treasure gold
We quest for a bounty hunting night and day
We set our course across the seas to islands far away
Set sail for adventure we pirates brave and true
The glorious life of a pirate lord off sailing with his crew
Now row men row men push back to the waves
With strength of arms and braven hearts we pirates set sail
Row men, row men, push back to the waves
As one we shall prevail
We pirates set sail

Let me spin you all a tale of the night I can recall
With the drunkest man I've ever seen his stories winding tall
From the teachings of the drunkard we all came to understand
Words of wisdom piercing hearts across the land
Well the Vikings think it's mead and all them sailors think it's grog
But I can tell you now me lads that they're all completely wrong
From the fingers of a dead man yes I ripped it from his hand
For us pirates It's the single greatest drink in all the land
On a night I set to drinking with my crew and mates in arms
Set to spend up all our plunder on the lasses we could charm
When there wandered in a stranger from the cold and stormy night
You could tell that he was wasted what a sight
Well he rambled of his travels far to all who'd lend an ear
From the stories he was spinning us to all he made it clear
That he knew the greatest secret told to us with glass in hand
Of the single greatest drink in all the land
Well the Vikings think it's mead and all them sailors think it's grog
But I can tell you now me lads that they're all completely wrong
From the fingers of a dead man yes I ripped it from his hand
For us pirates It's the single greatest drink in all the land
HEY!
From the teachings of this drunkard yes we finally understand
For us pirates it's the single greatest drink in all the land
How could this man be so wise
Could he be spinning us lies
When only a taste will suffice
What is this sorcery!?!
Holding him down on both sides
Point blank we snuff out his life
Breaking his grip we drink deeply to claiming our prize
Well the Vikings think it's mead and all them sailors think it's grog
But I can tell you now me lads that they're all completely wrong
From the fingers of the drunkard yes I ripped it from his hand
For us pirates It's the greatest on the seas
What possibly could this brew even be?
Well the Vikings think it's mead and all them sailors think it's grog
But I can tell you now me lads that they're all completely wrong
From the fingers of a dead man yes I ripped it from his hand
For us pirates It's the single greatest drink in all the land

Rekt on our pirate ship
Downing jars chasing stars on the sea
I be captain silver I made a huge mistake
Emptied all the brew into my crew now no one is awake
These scallywags and sea dogs spent the night out on the lash
The captains cure my private rum stash
SPLICE THE MAIN BRACE LETS GET SHIT FACED!!!
Move it all you blaggards the sun is in the sky
All loaded to the gun wall the crew begin to rise
Quicken up your pace men before you taste my wrath
Their sea legs are lost to the power of the draught
Turn this ship about men we have to make for land
Supplies are low we have to go replenish what we can
We drank all
Fetch the mop and bucket we're
Rekt on our pirate ship
Downing jars chasing stars on the sea
Rekt on our pirate ship
Where the drink makes us sink to our knees
Pour yourself the hair of the dog
Fill up your black jacks high with grog
Gulp it down lads
CRACK THE HOGS HEAD LETS GET WASTED!!!
Move it all you blaggards the nights about to fall
Still loaded to the gun wall the crew begins to stall
Quicken up your pace men before you face the lash
Their sea legs still lost to the power of the draught
Turn this ship about men we have to make for land
Supplies are low we have to go replenish what we can
We drank all
Grab a jug and chug it we’re
Rekt on our pirate ship
Downing jars chasing stars on the sea
Rekt on our pirate ship
Where the drink makes us sink to our knees
Rekt on our pirate ship
Downing jars chasing stars on the sea
Rekt on our pirate ship
Where the drink takes us all makes us spin till we fall
Ahoy ye silly pirates what brings you to the floor
We drank before then the captain gave us more
you have our captains' orders how will your tasks be done
With a heart and a gun and a belly full of rum
By Neptune’s salty barnacles your faces are so glum
No beer not one our booze is all gone
Step lively to your post’s lads the captains on his way
He stands we see such a mighty man is he
Attention all you blaggards your captains at the helm
Ahoy our crew what would you have us do
All hands up on the main deck and arm yourselves for war
Ahoy yo ho and away heave ho
We drank before then the captain gave us more
With a heart and a gun and a belly full of rum
No beer not one our booze is all gone
Ahoy yo ho and away heave ho
All this work our backs are breaking from the drink our hands are shaking
In the sun our bodies sweating because we spent all day getting
Rekt on our pirate ship
Downing jars chasing stars on the sea
CLAP OF THUNDER POUR ANOTHER,
NELSONS FOLLY PURE DEBAUCHERY
Move it all you scoundrels let's have a shot of rum
All loaded to the gun wall the night has just begun

Today's mighty adventure took its toll on you and me
All of us hungover on this jolly sea rover
Here’s to getting rekt on the sea

The Captain's Command
03:39
|
|
||
Riding over the oceans blue to mountains far and wide
We seek an ancient treasure and to claim a dragons hide
Ahoy there be the island lads the mighty captain cried
Make haste for the darkened path beneath the mountain side
We make our way inside
A darkened path with twisted trees awaits us at the gorge
We carve our way upon this day with swords of iron forged
But how you ask can such a task by our swords be complete
We seek the gate to claim the treasure beneath the dragons feet
We have to find the key but where is the key
Your captain holds the key
We opened the gate to the caverns below
Set forth like the knights in the legends of old
In a darkened cave with red eyes they glow
Upon the legendary bounty of gold
I fear not for the beast its ending is nigh
For I swear by my life the dragon will die
Its wings I will cast aside from its chest
To plunder the treasure fulfilling our quest
The serpent is strong we cannot prevail
Our strength is now low and we've not enough ale
Five men strong against a dragon we stand
Avast and await for your captains command
I call upon my first mate the wisest of my crew
“Ahoy captain silver what would you have me do”
Rise from your wallowing gather all who remain
The time has now come for this beast to be slain
Advance!
We hear a roar like thunder sat high upon the plunder
Fuelled by might we set our sights to cast the devil asunder
Quartermaster take the east and ready your sword “It’s ready my lord”
Gunner west and tell me if the dragons in view “my aim is true”
First mate gather your fists and fire then take the back “I will attack”
My ball and chain the dragon's bane unites us all the dragon will fall
Helmsmen hold our course true!
Hold fast and prepare to strike as the beast
Growls in anger prepare to face the serpent’s bite
Charge forth! Let it taste our wrath as our swords
Flash in the light together we charge with all our might
Fight on! The tides of fortune smile blessed are we
As we hit our mark we lay the foul beast to rest
Fulfilling the terms of our mighty quest to claim
The treasure of the dragons hide
Quested over the oceans blue to mountains far and wide
We sought an ancient treasure and to claim a mighty prize
Cast off from the island the mighty captain cried
Make haste for the second star the wind is on our side
Victorious we ride
Through darkened paths and twisted trees descending down the cliffs
We climbed below with prize in tow to board our mighty ship
But how you ask was such a task completed by we knaves
We set our course homeward bound set forth on mighty waves
Our time is now at hand victorious we stand
By the captains command

Drunken Pirates Ahoy!
03:58

Drunken pirates (ahoy!) Unspoken legends of the sea
Fly your banners raise your tankards let us toast our victory
Greater than blackbeard (HWOUGH!) Captain hook and mr smee
Hoist the anchor give no quarter as I spin you our adventures
On the mighty rolling deep
Yarr shiver me timbers lads
You’ll grab yourselves a shovel and we’ll bury most the gold
Then we’ll keep it hid from the Seawolf kids in a cavern deep and old
We'll place it under lock and key behind a mighty gate
Only dragon kind could possibly find a treasure horde this great
The cursed liquor takes our minds to the point of no return
And it brings to mind a similar time we saw that dragon burn
Is this cabin fever or the madness of the scurvy setting in
Weren’t there six of us when we made a start our boatswaine is missing
We hunted over oceans we charged upon the land
For the dragon was no match for our mighty pirate band
As the gold was dripped by rubies we dethroned it from its seat
With a crashing blow its head did roll and landed by our feet
Drunken pirates (ahoy!) Unspoken legends of the sea
Fly your banners raise your tankards let us toast our victory
Greater than blackbeard (HWOUGH!) Captain hook and mr smee
Hoist the anchor give no quarter as I spin you our adventures
On the mighty rolling deep
Times at hand to pay the crew for all the work they’ve done
With all the treasure buried deep all we have left is rum
One shot for the quarter master for the mighty blade he drew
Then a barrel for the first mate for he’s masterful wise and true
Our gunner and the helmsman they can share these bottles of brew
But I lead the quest so pass the rest to the captain of the crew
Out on the shallows we all hear cries
Get him aboard men before he dies
Passed out in a barrel then lost to sea
Three cheers for the boatswain on his safe return we raise a glass
All drunken pirates we
Drunken pirates (ahoy!) Unspoken legends of the sea
Fly your banners raise your tankards let us toast our victory
Greater than blackbeard (HWOUGH!) Captain hook and mr smee
Hoist the anchor give no quarter as I spin you our adventures
On the mighty rolling deep
Take note on all that has passed this day
In this mighty tome of war
Our every deed these pages read
Where we all signed on the dotted line my eyes fail me I do believe
We’ve done this all before
Drunken pirates (ahoy!) Unspoken legends of the sea
Fly your banners raise your tankards let us toast our victory
Greater than blackbeard (HWOUGH!) Captain hook and mr smee
Hoist the anchor give no quarter as I spin you our adventures
On the mighty rolling deep
Drunken pirates (ahoy!) All I say this unto thee
Three score and nine have been the times we’ve tasted victory
Marked in black and white one these pages clear to read
How we sailed to the east to beat the beast
How we were victorious
Still we can’t remember this
The drink has got the best of us
Drunken pirates we

MAKE PORT DRINK PORT
Well there ain't no better pass time than succumbing to the sweet sublime
Of sailing out across the oceans blue
But I would rather make for port and get a drink with the lively sort
And sing about all of my adventures new

Drink too much you'll be on your ass!
Make port drink port!
Come on me hearty’s
It’s been a good time sailing lads but let’s make our way back to dry land
At a time I longed to be sailing out across the sea
Exploring all the corners of the oceans blue
But I would rather make for port and get a drink with the lively sort
And sing about all of my adventures new
Go to the bar and grab a glass find the port fill up your flask
Drink too much you'll be on your ass!
Make port drink port!
At a time I longed to be sailing out across the sea
Exploring all the corners of the oceans blue
But I would rather make for port and get a drink with the lively sort
And sing about all of my adventures new
Yahahar! HEY HEY!
Yahahar! HEY HEY!
Yahahar! HEY HEY!
MAKE PORT DRINK PORT!
Yahahar! HEY HEY!
