Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We
pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage
and don't give a hoot.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's
life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho. /> Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Stand up me hearties, yo ho.

Yo ho,
yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Stand up me
hearties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Stand up me hearties, yo
ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villains and knaves.
Stand up me
hearties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Stand up me
hearties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Stand up
me hearties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Stand up me
hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
