[Forboding drum intro] [Male Vocals Bass] Yo Ho Ho Hum [pirates singing] Yo Ho Ho Hum [pirates singing] [Intro : Pirates chanting in Latin] [In latin increasing in volume] desperationis, desperationis, desperationis,desperationis [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 life, under a thousand suns (suns) [Chorus] But now we're old and gray, with salt in our hair, And salt in our veins (it tastes bitter) With every breath and every care floating on the salty air [shouting boldly, forte forte] [Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle] We miss the simple things, that landlubbers take for granted, Like a warm bed, and a hearty breakfast,(breakfast) [shouting boldly, forte forte] We Lament it (lament), WE LAMENT IT (OH OH) [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 life, its all so wrong (wrong) [Chorus] But now we're old and gray, with salt in our hair, And salt in our veins (it tastes bitter) With every breath and every care floating on the salty air [shouting boldly, forte forte] [Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle] We miss the simple things, that landlubbers take for granted, Like a warm bed, and a hearty breakfast,(breakfast) [shouting boldly, forte forte] We Lament it (lament), WE LAMENT IT (OH OH) [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 alone (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 throw it back (back) [Chorus] But now we're old and gray, with salt in our hair, And salt in our veins (it tastes bitter) With every breath and every care floating on the salty air [shouting boldly, forte forte] [Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle] We miss the simple things, that landlubbers take for granted, Like a warm bed, and a hearty breakfast,(breakfast) [shouting boldly, forte forte] We Lament it (lament), WE LAMENT IT (OH OH) [Outro] So here's to all pirates, who sailed the seven seas Our legacy, forever wild and free But if we could do it all again, we'd choose another path A pirate's life!, Not worth the cost, alas. (Alas)
