[Intro] (Upbeat accordion and stomping boots) (Whistling melody) [Verse 1] I woke up with a barnacle stuck to me knee With the salt in me hair and the sun on the sea The Captain is snoring, the parrot is loose And the cook is attempting to roast a Mongoose We haven’t seen land in a fortnight or two But the sky is a beautiful shade of blue! [Chorus] (Gang Vocals - Loud and Stomping) Yo Ho Ho! Let the trade winds blow! We’re dancing on the deck like we don’t know what to Do! Yo Ho Ho! Across the waves we go! With a rusty old cannon and a ship full of dough! (Hey!) [Verse 2] Now me shirt has a hole and me boots have no soles And we’re eating hard biscuits in cereal bowls The map is all faded, we’re lost as can be But there’s nowhere I’d rather be sailing than free! We stole a fine treasure from a Spanish grandee It turned out to be crates of chamomeel tea! [Chorus] (Gang Vocals) Yo Ho Ho! Let the trade winds blow! We’re dancing on the deck like we don’t know what to Do! Yo Ho Ho! Across the waves we go! With a rusty old cannon and a ship full of dough! [Bridge] (Tempo slows down slightly, accordion solo) We don’t pay no taxes, we don’t pay no rent We sleep under stars instead of a tent A pirate’s life is the life for a king Especially when we all gather to sing! (1, 2, 3, 4!) [Guitar Solo] (Upbeat jig) [Chorus] (Maximum Volume) Yo Ho Ho! Let the trade winds blow! We’re dancing on the deck like we don’t know what to Do! Yo Ho Ho! Across the waves we go! With a rusty old cannon and a ship full of dough! [Outro] Yo Ho Ho... Yo Ho Ho... And a bottle of... kombucha! (Laughter) (Fade out with whistling)
