Arrrr! \*In days of old when ships were bold Just like the men who sailed them And if they showed us disrespect We’d tie them up and flail them Often men of low degree And often men of steel We’d make them walk the plank alone Or haul them round the keel Hoist the Jolly Roger! Hoist the Jolly Roger! Hoist the Jolly Roger! It’s your money that we want And your money we shall have!\* ---

Hoist the tops’ls and topgallantsails, flash out those stuns’ls and let’s be cracking on! Luff and touch her, handsomely now! If she have a foul bottom, we’ll come up with her quick as bob’s your uncle, so run out the great guns and ready the bar and cannister; we’ll send those balls post-paid! Though it be warm work there’ll be no purser’s eights shared out once we’ve beaten them into a cocked hat; we’ll dine on more than millers and bargemen tonight! ---
