The Lyrics

Ahoy & Avast, ye landlubbers! Aye, now it be time for yet one more o' me "Pirate" parodies...Aye, an' a tip o' me Pirate hat to Kristof fer suggestin' mayhaps I be the right blaggard to plunder the bountiful treasure off of "Under Pressure"...

~ ~ {Waves - slapping side of ship} ~ ~
~ {Peg legs - tapping on the deck} ~

(Yo-ho-heave-ho, yo-ho-heave-ho)
(Ho-ho-ho, har-har-har)

Pirates, pirates on the seas
Plundering they be; aye, that they be
Aye, they plunder, rape and pillage, too
throw ye down in the deep
where ye'll soon be shark meat

Har-de-har-har, yo-ho-de-ho
Har-har-har, yo-ho-ho

Aye, ahoy!
Now ye terror is showing
as they say “Come about”
Now ye be boarded
by Pirate louts
From the yardarm; hang ye high
Pirates on the seas, aye, bringin' death fer ye

Yo-ho-ho
Yo-de-ho-ho-ho
Ahoy!

Limping around; hear ye peg leg tap the deck floor
Captain raves, aye, then bellows out with a roar
"Har-har-de-har, har-de-har-har-har
har-de-har, har-ho
Pirates, aye, we be; Pirates of the sea"
Pirates, aye they be; aye, be uncouth beasts
aye, they be that, be that, sea rats

Now ye black flag be flowing
Aye, there be no doubt
Soon we be boarded
by Pirate louts
Have no mercy; soon ye'll die
Pirates on the seas, aye, they have no mercy

Strung him up on the mast; aye, the Captain
Lashed, then keel-hauled, aye, in the deep
Be gasping now for air
Pirates laughed with scorn
“DII-EE! DII-EEEE!! DIIIIIIIIIII-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
Gluub...gluug....gluub....gluug....

Insane, aye their laughs; aye, the Pirates be cackling
Aye, on ye bridge now, aye, they dance
Upon ye deck now; a jig they dance
They dance a jig now, they scowl; Aye, growl, and howl, they howl
and growl, and scowl, and howl...
(howling, growling and scowling noises out to a fade)

Aye, Pirate scum, they be a curse
Aye, cruel vermin; aye, much worse
Ye'll be keel-hauled, then drowned; a sad plight
Black scum, aye, scare ye; deranged, aye, beware
cur bastards; they be from Hell

Pirates; a jig they dance
Ye get one last chance
last chance, aye, "tell
where's ye treasure?"
Uhhh..neck-stretched-URGH!!....
(croaking, dying gasp) "Trea-sure....."

I hope you didn't give it all "1's" for that...probably was somebody else, I imagine...if I got upset by that one's crap anymore this would really tick me off because I spent a whole lot of time getting this one right...but it's OK - we've got Free Speech and I guess that includes the right to anonymously "diss" somebody else's work...but the Pirate in me say "ye be a snivelling coward to "1" me on this an' not show ye face, aye....If I be seein' yer pus-filled puss around me deck I'll run me saber thru ye till ye timbers shiver"...Aye, if I be a Pirate, that is...'Course, I'm not, so "Thanks" for looking in...ye weasely b*stard ~ ~ ~

No I swear I did not vote ones. I voted fives like everyone else did.

Db - didn't think it was you...I was just calling out whoever it was...and, no, I don't expect a reply from the coward...HAR!...hmmm...this "Pirate" thing...aye, must be another side of me...HAR!...and I know this is going to offend SOMEBODY somehow...but...what if a Pirate had "Tourette's Syndrome"? would he have uncontrolled fits in which he spoke Correct English using proper grammar - and no swearing?? Arrrgghhh!!

I'm so proud to be even peripherally associated with this parody, Pirate Paul (oh no, alliteration overload!)...great job, dude...555

Indeed, my good fellow Sir Robinson, your explanation of some buccaneers' unfortunate medical plight is both eloquent and scientifically articulate. Such profound expostulations by a refined gentlemen such as yourself give me pause as I reflect upon my maritime career of criminal adventurism. As you can see, I, myself, am presently in the grips of an attack of the syndrome which you so eloquently describ------ARRRGGGHHH, YO-HO-HO MATEY, ME FEELIN' MUCH BETTER NOW, ARRRGGGHHH!!! TAKE YER' BLEEDIN' SCIENCE AND SHOVE IT UP YER BLOW-HOLE, ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

Kristof - Thanks for your gracious appreciation - but it is true, nonetheless, that I had not considered "Under Pressure" for parody treatment at all, much less in the "Pirate" category, until you mentioned it on one of my other Pirate numbers (I think). So it is only proper to offer thanks and credit for that assist...Always glad to prey on parody material which others are unable to digest fully...when I'm able...

ARRRGGGHHH - Captain, glad ye be feelin' better, I'yam - the condition ye be suff'rin from be most troublin', Dysfunctional Pirates, aye, it be so sad a sight...soon they lose their taste fer blood...an' be feelin' sorry for slittin' gillets...I wonder if there be a "Home" or Treatment Program fer such as these...?? Mayhaps a story or shanty could be told of such a place...?? I'll be thinkin' on it...aye...

Hey Paul, maybe Captain Tourette and you could do a parody of The Beatles' tune "When I'm Sixty-Four" called something like "When I'm Fixed A-shore" or "When I'm Stick'd A-shore" ?
Paul Robinson - March 08, 2005 - Report this comment
Johnny D - Not a bad idea...and it be funny, but I was just plumbin' me memory fer Beatles tunes to do such a parody to...I was thinkin' about "Sgt. Pepper" - got a few possibilities in that...but I might look at "Fixing a Hole", too...Thanks!!

I got to see your Pirate picture, but the board wouldn't let me post a return comment, probably because I'm on a computer at work or something...great pix...

Like I said, I voted fives despite a mistake in the time-frame. I do appreciate your work.
Paul Robinson - March 10, 2005 - Report this comment
David bowie - no, I didn't think it was you that plastered the one's here...actually, I appreciate getting the correct information. I was going from my recollection of when I first heard the OS song and I was fairly certain it was in the 70's, but I must have mixed it up with another number. My error. Thanks again to you & to all those who took the time to read, comment &/or vote!
