The Golden Plunder

[Verse] Come gather 'round Me hearties And listen to me tale Of pirates bold and daring A story to regale We sailed upon the ocean Seeking wealth and fame With the wind in our sails We raised the Jolly Roger's name [Chorus] Yo-ho Yo-ho A pirate's life for me We'll plunder and we'll pillage Across the deep blue sea Yo-ho Yo-ho Our hearts are filled with greed But beware Me mateys For all that glitters ain't what it seems [Verse] We spied a Spanish galleon Laden with treasure's might The crew of scurvy dogs We couldn't resist the sight With cannons roaring thunder We boarded their vessel bold Their captain and his crew Soon to be left in the cold [Verse] We tossed the Spanish overboard Left them to the fish But as we counted doubloons We started to squabble and wish Each pirate wanted more Their greed began to grow They bickered and they argued No one willing to let go [Chorus] Yo-ho Yo-ho A pirate's life for me We'll plunder and we'll pillage Across the deep blue sea Yo-ho Yo-ho Our hearts are filled with greed But beware Me mateys For all that glitters ain't what it seems [Verse] The captain yelled for order But his words were lost in din As bottles smashed like thunder And blood stained the wooden skin The ship rocked with the violence Of men lost in their rage A scene of madness unfolding In the pirates drunken stage [Verse] Caught in the mayhem's roar, I saw the end draw near, In the midst of that wild scene, I foresaw my escape's need, Amidst the drunken brawl, I found a lifeboat small, With gold chest tightly gripped, Alone I set my sail leaving chaos in my stead! [Bridge] I turned around and what did I see? The ship engulfed in flames, a spectacle for me And that's how this tale took its flight, Escaping chaos in the dead of night. Now as I spin it, with a chuckle and a cheer, That's how this story landed here! So picture me, with a grin so wide, Outsmarting fellow pirates on the tide! [Chorus] Yo-ho Yo-ho A pirate's life for me We'll plunder and we'll pillage Across the deep blue sea Yo-ho Yo-ho Our hearts are filled with greed But beware Me mateys For all that glitters ain't what it seems [Instrumental outro]
