Drink of the Pirates

Rum is a drink That our crewmates love to sink Gather round and sing It's the drink of the pirates! Raise your glass For this may be your last Tonight is unsurpassed It's the drink of the pirates When you're caught drifting Cast aloft at sea Nothing to do, nowhere to hide Alone as you can be An innocent dip amongst the waves Has buggered up my day I can't remember where I parked my ship Mate you're here to stay! Floating right beside me A bottle from last nights best Rum shall it be? A savior to me! Let's put it to the test! I hung for days and I hung for nights It was then I finally saw The rum's brought me home to my crew It's time to drink some more! Rum is a drink That our crewmates love to sink Gather round and sing It's the drink of the pirates! Raise your glass For this may be your last Tonight is unsurpassed It's the drink of the pirates Outside roar the cannons This move is mighty bold He's come here to fight, a strike in the night Some bastard wants my gold! The wood is cracked and splintered It's gone straight through the hull If I don't fix this, to our graves we'll go The sea she'll have your soul! Racing down the rigging I rush below the deck Water floods in! Floor starts to spin! We mustn't become a wreck But this here blast shan't be our last I've seen this shape before A bottle of rum will seal this breach The rum it's saved us all! Rum is a drink That our crewmates love to sink Gather round and sing It's the drink of the pirates! Raise your glass For this may be your last Tonight is unsurpassed It's the drink of the pirates --- Drink of the Pirates - Lagerstein
