Plainly Pirates Lyrics

We are Plainly Pirates ‘cos we’re all wearing beards

Scary pirate hats and earrings in our ears

We sail our ships and plunder everywhere we go

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho

Hoist the Jolly Roger and find the treasure chest

Shivering our timbers and shaking all the rest

Time to splice the mainbrace, steady as ye go

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho

When you see the skull and cross bones, scuttling a wreck

A parrot on my shoulder and a monkee on the deck

We’ll make you walk the plank, visit Davy Jones

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho

Blood dripping from a cutlass, a pistol to my head

Brave souls turning gutless, fifteen good men dead

Once a smile grinning gold, now is gaping lead

Rigging torn and favours gone, decks are running red

Lost all count of conquests, romantic legends grow

Of ladies loved and lives I took to send them down below

But all that I remember of my last tide’s ebb and flow is

Drinking rum and singing…

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing

Drinking rum and singing Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho
