Lyrics
v.1
we sail the seven seas me lads we plough the mighty waves
we terrorize the waters cuz we're fearsome and we're brave
we fly the jolly roger and we fire a cannon too
all in all we're what you'd call a rough and ready crew
cho.
we thunder and plunder all across the main
boarding's rewarding your loss is our gain
and it's pearls and rubies that make it all worthwhile
and it's gold and treasure that make a pirate smile
v.2
we're pretty jolly company whene'er we come ashore
with tales of fighting dragons and devils by the score
we'll dance and sing the night away until we have to run
from Benbow's men or dreams again brought on by demon rum
cho.
we thunder and plunder all across the main
boarding's rewarding your loss is our gain
and it's pearls and rubies that make it all worthwhile
and it's gold and treasure that make a pirate smile
