Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
We kidnap and pillage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!

Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!

Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and inflame and ignite
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
We're rascals, and scoundrels, and villains, and knaves
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!

Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me.
