Kaptain Kidd Lyrics

Ever since the days of skulls and crossbones

I've been known as Kaptain Kidd

Every mama and papa keeps his kids home

All because of the things I did

Patch on m' eye, boots to my thigh

A pirate am I

Now most of m' boys still wear their red bandanas

Though we were thinkin' of switchin' to green berets

We're fightin' men and pure Americans

A product of the working class malaise

Patch on m' eye, boots to my thigh

A pirate am I

The C.I.A. and all the black marias

They're supposed to be so bad and rough and stiff

But they're all run by corporate privateers

And they all think that piracy's a myth

But my swabbies make the plumbers look like schoolboys

And we'd pulverize them eggheads down at Rand

A bone beneath your boot makes such a cool noise

I'm hopin' all you poofies understand

Patch on m' eye, boots to my thigh

A pirate am I
