Lyrics
[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]
