Yo-Ho-Ho And Shiver Me Timbers Shiver me timbers and loosen me limbers I sail me sloop until it lin’ers And drop anchor in t’ nearest lagoon Bury me treasure chest full o’ doubloons Then set off durin t’ next full moon ~ “Aarrr!” I’m happy go-lucky sea piratin Cap’n With a short wooden leg and a limp, earrin’s, and rin’s on every fin’er Metal silver hook for me left hand Me cutlass, dagger, and dirk o’ me belt Not a landlubber at all ~ Not a thin’ scares me that stand in my way Especially when I’ve had a few grogs in me belly Aye, I carry around me Ahoy! bucko Polly me parrot on me shoulder That keeps me on t’ straight and narrow ~ They call me a barbaric and thief I don’t know why A great insult t’ me, I just laugh into my handkerchief in disbelief ~ Don’t insult me temper because it gets carried away Sarcasm, rudeness, and insults I cannot help When swashbucklin’ scallywag get in me way ~ Me hearty weigh anchor Or I’ll give ye a taste o’ walkin t’ plank T’ Davy Jones’ Locker you will go and feed t’ fishes for mutinous Dead men tell no tales! ~ Aye, aye, mates, pull anchor and set sail I be Silver Hook a feared pirate that sails t’ seas 9/5/2015 Contest Name :A Pirate's Life For Me Sponsor Name: Kelly Deschler
