This Morning I Woke Up a Pirate

Shiver me timbers What's going on I was dressed as a pirate When I woke up this morn I looked in the mirror And let out an Arrrr.... I came equipped an eye patch And a swash buckling scar I felt the strong urge For grog, meat, and cheese Went into the kitchen Told the winch who lives with me It's my new pirate attitude That I have to thank For the look that I got And why I'm now walking the plank When I arrived at the office It wasn't the ship I'd hoped for And security at the front desk Barred me from bringing my saber to work With all these modern day regulations How's a pirate to get a break When the only body of water nearby Is a drainage ditch and man made lake And the only pirate booty That I'd hoped to see Is right now swapping the kitchen deck While talking mutiny Still the days barnacle adventures Had a lot going on As my head hits the pillow I wonder what I'll wake up as tomorrow morn
