The Lyrics
“Arrrrrrr!” the feral brigands sing,
Gory is their pillaging.
Peace, a dearth with mercy mild.
Cod for dinner they’ve reviled.
Careful, navigation guys,
Of men with patches on eyes.
Diabolical is their aim—
“Pirate Born,” their battle hymn.
“Arrrrrrr!” the feral brigands sing,
Gory is their ravaging.
Fight them when they swarm aboard,
Fight them, this alarming horde.
Ain’t no time to talk; they come—
Offputting, their scourgin’ doom.
Tear your flesh and steal booty;
Off of a spar, mate, they’ll hang thee.
These are men to send to hell.
Jesus! They’ve an evil smell!!
“Arrrrrrr!” the feral brigands sing,
Gory is their ravening.
Rail not ’bout the Prince of Peace,
’ssail with gun of Fighteousness,
Or your life won’t be worth dick—
Let’s take on this stealing clique.
Mildness? Nix! Get sore or die;
Score that one remaining eye.
Scorning them just isn’t worth
Scores of curses you may birth.
Part with all feckless fretting;
Worry not and start fighting!
Gory is their pillaging.
Peace, a dearth with mercy mild.
Cod for dinner they’ve reviled.
Careful, navigation guys,
Of men with patches on eyes.
Diabolical is their aim—
“Pirate Born,” their battle hymn.
“Arrrrrrr!” the feral brigands sing,
Gory is their ravaging.
Fight them when they swarm aboard,
Fight them, this alarming horde.
Ain’t no time to talk; they come—
Offputting, their scourgin’ doom.
Tear your flesh and steal booty;
Off of a spar, mate, they’ll hang thee.
These are men to send to hell.
Jesus! They’ve an evil smell!!
“Arrrrrrr!” the feral brigands sing,
Gory is their ravening.
Rail not ’bout the Prince of Peace,
’ssail with gun of Fighteousness,
Or your life won’t be worth dick—
Let’s take on this stealing clique.
Mildness? Nix! Get sore or die;
Score that one remaining eye.
Scorning them just isn’t worth
Scores of curses you may birth.
Part with all feckless fretting;
Worry not and start fighting!

Wow! another feral song from JB! and just as good as "The Cur's Feral" too! Keep these up! I love them rooowwwllll! 555! ;-)
Feral not, WCJ, it was Fed'ral. And just a beautiful, dead-on description of what is going on and what needs to be done about it. Fabulous, JB!
As we learned earlier this year, pirates still ride the waves, and must be dealt with. My brother and I had a serious disagreement over just how. He said they should be hanged, and I said they should be thrown to the sharks. Can someone find a compromise? I love that word "Fighteousness".
LOL @ evil smell & remaining eye lines
Patrick: how about hung, drawn and quartered - then the pieces thrown to the sharks!

Echoing Patrick's comment about "Fighteousness" which is a great counterpoint to the original lyric. Nicely played.
And where would the Christmas story be without...Pontius Pirate? (BTW, that's how they pronounce it in Tokyo!) ;D
