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
