Jolly Roger - Lyrics by Adam And The Ants


Lyrics
Adam Ant/
Marco Pirroni
In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed themand if they showed us disrespectwe'd tie them up and flail themoften men of low degreeand often men of steelwho'd make you walk the plank aloneor haul you 'round the keelhoist the Jolly Roger!hoist the Jolly Roger!hoist the Jolly Roger!it's your money that we wantand your money we shall have!of all the pirates on the seasthe worst of them was Blackbeardso damnable a fiend from hellhe was the one they most fearedany man who sailed with himwas taking quite a chancehe'd hang them from the gallowsjust to see if they could dance (ha! ha!)
