For three days we treaded out on the high seas
When before us we saw a plank of wood floating
We needed some grub so says I to Ralphy
Show me your backside and I will be dining on that booty tonight
I be swabbin' the poop deck
Twasn't after till I found
Oh how my beard turned to brown
For four days we floated out on the high seas
When before us we spotted an island with trees
We found there on its shores a cache of shillings
Yo ho ho ho me matey we will be dining on these booties tonight
We be swabbin' the poop decks
Twasn't after till we found
Oh how our beards turned to brown
Seven years I did my time; waited on that island
Now a ship approaches; it's my turn to rise
I bought the crew off with the gold that I found on those shores
And of the captain, nothing remained, save for his corpse
A plot for revenge always in the front of my mind
I must consume his brown eye
(All in favor shout AYE)
I set sail on the seven seas braving unknown dangers for untold weeks
All for one old captain who once threw me overboard his ship for thievery
Little did he know that I had never forgotten
That I had survived the waves by planning my revenge
I see his ship up ahead; his end is nigh
I will be dining on that booty tonight
Tonight, tonight, oh we will be
Dining on that booty
And after Brownbeard gets his fill
We'll blow you down to sea
Tonight, tonight, oh we will be dining on that booty
And after Brownbeard gets his fill, we'll blow you down to sea...
So whatever became of Captain Brownbeard and his crew, ye ask? Far be it from me to deny ye a tale, especially one so-
SQUAWK! FUCK YOU RALPHY!
Er, you'll have to excuse me.
Ralphy! For the last time, be gentle with me Pecker, or I'll blow (The back of ye heart from here to the end of the seas meself)
Seven years he waited but I waited three times more
To live the life of a seaman and get off this damn shore!
I stowed away in the cargo bay and never did look back
From the day that I left the world behind to join the pirate who eats ass!
Ich heisse Gunther Goldenrump, I've shaken off my past
And tossed it off ze back end, ausser mein golden pants
I love ze grind of blasting Brownbeard's long nine at the broadside of enemies
(They'll never see) the end of sein ladestock
Let's hand it off to Ralphy now
The first mate in command
He's had a taste of brown himself,
He was there when this whole thing began!
He may be fat!
He may be dumb!
He's rough with Brownbeard's bird
But ol' Cornelius loves that man,
They love each other so we've heard!
SQUACK
What in the name of Davy Jones is going on in here!
Captain! Nothing! I mean- well- we was just-
Get yer scurvy-ridden hide away from me voice box before I string yer guts from the crow's nest!
Aye, aye, sir!
And pick up that guitar, Smooch 'Em! I'll sing ye a real chanty!
We drink to the oust the fire that is burning through our heads
A pirate's life for me; I'll sail the waves with a drink in hand!
For 40 years around I sailed the deep blue chasing brown
I've been through every port and town
I turned the whole world upside down and I-
I've done pretty much everything I set out to do
I'm not saying this life has lost a certain appeal
Watching my enemies kneel
But after every meal I know
I can't keep this up without a fountain of youth
We drink to the oust the fire that is burning through our heads
A pirate's life for me; I'll sail the waves with a drink in hand!
So I'll raise my glass to all the times we had
So I'll raise my glass in memory of what we had
about
