lyrics

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
