lyrics

[intro]

16 men on a deadmans chest, YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM

[verse 1]

Yo ho ho
A bottle of rum, ship pulled into port and I'm lookin for some fun
Dirty rotten scoundrels marching all behind me
the whole kings navy don't know where to find me
I got a vicious crew, they love to rob and loot
a tri-corner hat and a buckle on my boot
This map in my pocket reads X marks the spot
a jolly roger tattoo across my heart

[Chorus]
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho

ah listen here!
I battled black beard on the eve of yesterday
his crew abandoned ship, now they all sail for me
I challenged Captain Hook in the bay of Neverland
I took his other hand and I killed Peter Pan
Ann Bonnie and Marry lee the deadliest gals of the 7 seas, i took their ships, they did what i please, they walked the plank after lovin me

[Chorus]
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho

[Solo]

[Breakdown]

Get the crew ready its time to attack
Send out the cannons and run up the flag
Leave no survivors keep all the swag
take what you can and give nothing back

Get the crew ready its time to attack
Send out the cannons and run up the flag
Leave no survivors keep all the swag
take what you can and give nothing back

Get the crew ready its time to attack
Send out the cannons and run up the flag
Leave no survivors keep all the swag
take what you can and GIVE NOTHING BACK

[Chorus]
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
GIVE NOTHING BACK
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
GIVE NOTHING BACK
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
GIVE NOTHING BACK
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho
Yo ho ho yo hoho yo hohohohohoho

well 16 men, on your dead mans chest mate, yo ho ho, its a pirates life for me love.
