The Pirate Court v6b

V6

[Intro] [Call & Response] Who keeps order in the void? (The Pirate Court) Who settles beef when captains feud? (The Pirate Court!) [Verse] From days of old to just before, the pirate code was no joke. Sure, we’re thieves, but we’ve got smoke and a lawless creed welded oh so tight Pirates are lawless! (That's not True) Pirates lack honour! (Look Who's talking, honour ... you?) Pirates have no Code! (Say that again, then swab the deck) With your Tongue! [Chorus] Who keeps order in the void? (The Pirate Court!) [Verse] Two ships meet with a freighter caught between one yells out “This Cargo is Mine!” the other bellows back “Yer Claim is as thin, as yer whinging spine!” They could duel at dawn, or in the night (or wherever they find a spot) ten thousand paces (Give or take 9) but plasma cannon ruin everybody's day. So off they go to the pirate court, three old captains in a shack of sorts one’s asleep, one’s mostly drunk, one spends his time eating snacks. (fingerling treats, anyone?) But they’ll judge your case and insult you too. [pre-Chorus] [Call and Response] We Are The Pirate Court (We tell our tale, sorrow and woe) just who the hell are you? (We fought over booty, we fight over loot) Give it here, you’re a couple of fools [Chorus] Who keeps order in the void? (The Pirate Court!) [Verse] So the captains walk in all snarls and spit the Clerk is a parrot with a leg made of tin disrepect him? [Chorus]ORDER![/Chorus] He throws the bottle We plead our case to lawyers paid with rum They talk about us like we are long lost friends then forget it all and fall off the chair [Verse] The verdict stands (no second tries) take it like a captain (stand like a man) or out the airlock you will ride. (No boots, no gear) and a very short goodbye. [Final Chorus] Who Keeps Order In The Void? (The Pirate Court!) Who Settles Beef When Captains Feud? (The Pirate Court!) Who Chucks Cheaters Out the Hatch? (The Pirate Court!) (The Pirate Court!)
