Title: "A Pirate's Lament" Yo Ho Ho Hum [pirates singing] Yo Ho Ho Hum [pirates singing] [Intro : Pirates chanting] (Verse 1) Oh, we sailed the seven seas, me hearties bold We plundered and pillaged, tales of gold We fought the Royal Navy, with cutlasses and guns Our pirate lives, filled with fun and sons (Chorus) But now we're old and gray, with salt in our hair Our days of piracy, are filled with despair We miss the simple things, that landlubbers take for granted Like a warm bed, and a hearty breakfast, lamented (Verse 2) We never knew the joy, of a loved one's touch Our hearts were full of plunder, but empty of much We missed the laughter, of a child's sweet song Our pirate lives, left us all so wrong (Chorus) But now we're old and gray, with salt in our hair Our days of piracy, are filled with despair We miss the simple things, that landlubbers take for granted Like a warm bed, and a hearty breakfast, lamented (Bridge) We sailed the Caribbean, and fought the Spanish Main We searched for hidden treasures, but found only pain Our dreams of glory, turned to dust and bones A pirate's life, left us all alone (Verse 3) We'd trade our eyepatches, for a chance to see The world beyond the ocean, as a normal man could be We'd swap our parrots, for a quiet life ashore A pirate's life, we'd not have anymore (Chorus) But now we're old and gray, with salt in our hair Our days of piracy, are filled with despair We miss the simple things, that landlubbers take for granted Like a warm bed, and a hearty breakfast, lamented (Outro) So here's to all the pirates, who sailed the seas Our legacy, forever wild and free But if we could do it again, we'd choose a different path A pirate's life, is not worth the cost, alas.
