lyrics
Scoundrels an’ crooks, raise yer hands an’ yer hooks
Who will join my crew
Deceivers an’ rats, raise yer scarves an’ yer hats
Bravery an’ courage will do
Death to ye king, cursed be ye queen
Who will sail with me
Lads an’ lassies fill yer glasses
A grog for the ones that have gone
We’ll roam ye seas for eternity
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
Beggars an’ thieves, raise yer ol’ worn out sleeves
Let’s set sail, it’s time to leave
Racketeers an’ bored, raise yer muskets an’ swords
Be prepared for war on ye seas
Death to ye king, cursed be ye queen
Who will sail with me
Lads an’ lassies fill yer glasses
A grog for the ones that have gone
We’ll roam ye seas for eternity
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
Rogues an’ thugs, raise yer rum stinkin’ mugs
Doubloons to each one who tugs
Villains an’ fools, raise yer sharp torture tools
Unleash yer demons an’ ghouls
Death to ye king, cursed be ye queen
Who will sail with me
Lads an’ lassies fill yer glasses
A grog for the ones that have gone
We’ll roam ye seas for eternity
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
Lads an’ lassies fill yer glasses
A grog for the ones that have gone
We’ll roam ye seas for eternity
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
A short an’ merry life for you an’ me
