The Rutherford Shanty
by: Gringo

Background:
I had been working hard on the guitar for this new song and 
then I went to see Pirates of the Carribean. I loved it. 
I decided I would write a song about pirates, because they are cool.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Drink up me hearties, drink up, drink up!
It's time to go get laid
Tomorrow we're off to plunder
and we may go to our graves
May Satan spare us from a deep and salty, murky fate

So hoist the sails up high
We're heading for the west
The captain is a scurvy bastard
But he knows what's best
Sing a shanty, dance a hornpipe
Join with all the rest
"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest!"

Prechorus:
So sharpen up your cutlass
and hoist the jolly roger
wrap your arm around a wench and pour yourself some lager
Sharpen up your cutlass 
and hoist the jolly roger
And watch your back 
or you'll go down to Davey Jones's locker

Chorus:
(Yo ho ho!)
It's a pirate's life for me
Killing all the bilge rats
That try to tel me how to be
We'll plunder every port across the seven seas
And the rest of the world can kiss me arse
'Cause I live how I please

Verse 2:
Drink up me hearties, drink up, drink up!
Our plunder has been great
The women love our booty
and we love theirs the same
We'll take our bonnie lasses right down to hell's gate

So dance up with the Devil
Spinning all the way to hell
Killing all who get too wise
'Cause dead men tell no tales
Pillaging treasure and hording our swag
If e'er we should fail
We'll be left upon an isle, ne'er again to sail

Prechorus
Chorus

the end, more or less
