The Ballad of the Pirate Captain

歌詞

I've been a pirate captain more years than you could count And if I told you of my gold you'd blush at the amount Although its nice to be the best and I don't want to be a grumbler I may trade out my treasurer chest for a life that's a little more humbler For yo ho ho its sure I love the open sea and yo ho ho the salty air is fresh and free But don't you know its not as grand as it may look cause it's hard to paint a white picket fence with an eyepatch and a hook Sure [...unknown lyrics...] An really with desert islands you've seen one you've seen em all And although I've got a loyal crew it is upon reflection that their loyalty may be due more to fear than to affection For yo ho ho its sure I love the open sea and yo ho ho the salty air is fresh and free But don't you know its not as grand as it may look cause it's hard to paint a white picket fence with an eyepatch and a hook And while you may envy me with my rum on the beach 'neath the tiki torch all I long is to sip a latte on my front porch For yo ho ho its sure I love the open sea and yo ho ho the salty air is fresh and free But don't you know its not as grand as it may look cause it's hard to paint a white picket fence with an eyepatch and a hook Oh yo ho ho its sure I love the open sea and yo ho ho the salty air is fresh and free But don't you know its not as grand as it may look cause it's hard to paint a white picket fence with an eyepatch and a hook
