A seriously swelling shanty in 99 lines (harrr-harrrrh) A slightly camp tribute to Cap'n Jack Sparrow and The Pirates of the Caribbean. (Recorded and Produced at Fusion Games Recording Studios)
Mad fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and all things Buccaneer!! and anything to raise a smile
Story behind the song
Its a spontaneous explosion of a romp of a song, twelve years in the making..........still as good for you today as it's always been. A song about daring-do on the high seas of life, taken with a pinch of salt and a celebration of life itself (and why not!)
Inspired by the original Disney ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, and later the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy 'Curse of the Black Pearl', 'Dead Mans Chest' & Worlds End'.
Lyrics
PIRATES (of the Caribbean?)
Verse 1
1. The Buccaneer said
2. I'll see you dead!
3. I'll see you swingin' from the yardarm!
4. We've enough gold
5. And an Ivory Coast
6. We've enough food to get by on
7. Our Captain said
8. As he staggered and bled
9. I'll see your souls in Hell Sir!
10. The sea won't keep locked
11. This mutinous plot
12. I curse your rank to the Gods Sir!
13. Now the one o'clock jig
14. On the Captain's bridge
15. Was a merry old dance that day
16. No-one in command
17. 'cept the One-Eyed man
18. Around the Bosun's wheel he swayed!
Chorus 1
19. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
20. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
21. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
22. Early in the morning
23. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
24. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
25. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
26. Early in the morning
Verse 2
27. On a Corvette they fell
28. In the coastal swell
29. Their ship paid a price at the last
30. Blood drips from their blades
31. Merchantmen enslaved
32. Captain lashed to the mast
33. He was flogged half to death
34. With his very last breath
35. That Gold is Cursed!, he rasped
36. The Pirate's jeers
37. Were heard by his ears
38. His dead soul shoved from the craft
39. With their riches secured
40. And infamy ensured
41. The crew turned their hands to repairs
42. So the rum was broken out
43. and up went the shout
44. Set sail where no-one else dares!
Chorus 2
45. Throw him overboard into Davys locker
46. Throw him overboard into Davys locker
47. Throw him overboard into Davys locker
48. Early in the morning
49. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
50. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
51. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
52. Early in the morning
53. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
54. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
55. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
56. Early in the morning
57. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
58. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
59. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
60. Early in the morning
Verse 3
61. There's a storm approaching
62. And with the mast half broken
63. The ship began to roll
64. From his perch in the Nest
65. A hand cried out
66. He'd seen a sheltered cove
67. The One-EYED man
68. Steered a course for the land
69. As a lightening bolt tore down
70. It flashed from the mast
71. To the stern, to the poop
72. To the cargo net on the prow
73. Too drunk, too stupid
74. Too totally useless
75. The fire raged upon the deck
76. And the One-Eyed man
77. Try as he can
78. Can't keep the flames in check!
79. As night closed in
80. On the sunken men
81. The Ghostly Captain roared
82. And the drowning man, try as he can
83. Can't escape his words
Outro
84. What shall we do with a drunken sailor

88. Throw him overboard into Davys locker
89. Throw him overboard into Davys locker
90. Throw him overboard into Davys locker
91. Early in the morning
92. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
93. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
94. Hooray the Black Pearl rises
95. Early in the morning

98. What shall we do with a drunken sailor
99. Early in the morning
