Great Pyrate Roberts

Twenty hours a day, we worked,
We'd heeve and we would "ho!"
Pulling up the topsail,
'Cause the wind was strong below,

Climb the shrouds of mizzle mast,
And swab the bloody deck,
Taking on a Man Of War,
And cutting through it's neck,

Arm the cannons! Load the guns!
Drink your bloody rum!
We'll set sail to Tortuga,
And we'll drink our arses dumb!

One hundred-pence a woman,
And fifty-pence a drink,
We'll spend it 'cause it's worth it,
It'll be gone before you blink,

A week full of debauchery,
We're drunk lecherous scum!
We will spend every last schilling,
And we'll do it all again!

We'll seige three ships a day,
And we'll take a fort of week,
Port Royal could not stop us,
Even if they meant to seek!

"Weigh anchor!" calls our captain,
"We've got a score to settle!
My predecessor's dead,
And we're bound to show his mettle!"

We followed Black Bart Roberts,
To our graves, we surely did!
The best pirate to ever live,
Proud forty men to whom he bid!

We'd fly our pirate flag,
And we'd hook our ship in place!
Kill the hundred to the captain,
And we'd shoot him in the face!

O, Arm the cannons! Load the guns!
Drink your bloody rum!
We'll set sail to Tortuga,
And we'll drink our arses dumb!

    Haha! Superb! True to the spirit of the pirate... and made me grin to boot! My favorite stanza "O, Arm the cannons! Load the guns!
    Drink your bloody rum!
    We'll set sail to Tortuga,
    And we'll drink our arses dumb!"
    I could just chant that. Thanks for this great entry; good luck!
