Yo-Ho-Ho and Shiver Me Timbers

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
