we pillage we plunder
we rifle and loot
drink up me hearties yo ho
we kidnap and ravage
and don't give a hoot
drink up me hearties yo ho
yo ho yo ho
a pirate's life for me
we extort we pilfer
we filch and sack
drink up me hearties yo ho
maraud and embezzle
and even hijack
drink up me hearties yo ho
yo ho yo ho
a pirate's life for me
we kindle and char
inflame and ignite
drink up me hearties yo ho
we burn up the city
we're really a fright
drink up me hearties yo ho
we're rascals scoundrels
villains and knaves
drink up me hearties yo ho
we're devils and black sheep
and really bad eggs
drink up me hearties yo ho
yo ho yo ho
a pirate's life for me
we're beggars and blighters
and ne'er do-well cads
drink up me hearties yo ho
aye but we're loved
by our mommies and dads
drink up me hearties yo ho
