(Verse 1) Oh, gather ye round, and I'll tell ye a tale, Of a pirate so wicked, so ghastly, so pale! With a cutlass in hand and a grin full of spite, Stringy Pete ruled the seas in the dead of the night! (Chorus) So raise up yer tankards, let’s toast to the sea, To the black-hearted devil who’d ne'er bend the knee! With curses upon him, he sails evermore, A ghost on the waves, bound to legend and lore! (Verse 2) He plundered, he pillaged, with laughter so cruel, He’d gut ye like fish just for callin’ him fool! But dark was the day when he cheated the fates, For the gods don’t take kindly to pirate debates! (Chorus) So raise up yer tankards, let’s toast to the sea, To the black-hearted devil who’d ne'er bend the knee! With curses upon him, he sails evermore, A ghost on the waves, bound to legend and lore! (Verse 3) They say he stole treasures from spirits and men, And laughed in the face of the heavens back then! But vengeance runs deep where the old curses lie, Now Stringy Pete sails though he never can die! (Bridge) His ship is a shadow, his crew made of bone, They haunt every harbor, they claim every stone! So pray if ye see him, don’t follow his call, Or ye’ll join his damned crew and ne’er leave at all! (Final Chorus) So raise up yer tankards, let’s toast to the sea, To the black-hearted devil who’d ne'er bend the knee! With curses upon him, he sails evermore, A ghost on the waves, bound to legend and lore! (Outro) Oh, Stringy Pete’s laughing, ye hear in the gale, A pirate, a demon, a curse in full sail…
