lyrics

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
