Who doesn’t want to be a pirate?
I need to work on this recording – the vocal, ending, mix could all be better. But who knows when that’ll happen?
I Want To Be A Pirate by Willy Grigg 7/6/14
I want to be a pirate, and go out on the sea
And sail out to an island, and bring it to it’s knees
Terrorize the people / take everything we need
We’ll raise a pint to our friends
We’ll leave the others to bleed
I want to be a pirate, man, life would be a dream
I wouldn’t have a mortgage, or a nine-to-five routine
I wouldn’t take no lip from any beardless, little punk
I’d be fearless, I’d be reckless, I’d be dangerous and drunk
I want to be a pirate, I’d have a lot of fun
I’d answer any questions with my dagger and my gun
And never knowing when it’s gonna fade to black
If it’s a hangman’s noose or a knife in my back
I wanna be a pirate, sign me up I’m ready to play
I wanna be a pirate, pick me up and take me away
I wanna be a pirate, And sail into the deep abyss
I wanna be a pirate, Six men dancing on a dead man’s chest
I wanna be a pirate, Look out baby, cause here I come
I wanna be a pirate, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
