The Rumless Pirate

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rootbeer There be termites on me wooden leg I've got me parrot on me shoulder That I've hatched from his mama's egg I've forgotten where I buried me treasure My map's in me treasure chest I thought it would be much safer there Don't judge me, I'm doing me best I just love the smell of the salty air The seven seas, I long to be Hoist the anchor and raise the sails It's a pirate's life for me The skull and crossbones are on me flag And I live by the pirate's code Me scurvey crew will swab the deck To make clean me humble abode A pirate's ditty ye asked fer So ye can take this to the bank But I'll be tellin' ye now if I don't place I'll make ye walk the plank
