Pirate's Life
The ship has set sail
Through the lighting and thunder
The pirates all ready
For adventure and plunder
The rain hits the deck
They all sing a chantee
They raised their sails through
A storm thick they can't see
This does not scare them
They keep sailing onward
Captain cries out portside
He spotted a flying songbird
With speed we will catch them
They cannot flee from our sight
For the wind is to our backs
To carry us swiftly to fight
The cannons were fired
They boarded swords drawn
Fight with me lads
You will be rich before long
They make with quick haist
Of the ship and the crew
Captain yells good job men
Now let's get the dublooms
Captain looks to the survivor
Said I'll show mercy this day
There is room on my crew
Sail with me and get paid
We shall travel near and far
Plunder ship to ship
We shall gets lots of treasure
My crew I'll drink with
Adventure is a pirate's life
Your my crew and I'm your captain
This ship is our home
And the sea is our captive
