Just like the men who sailed them.
And if they showed us disrespect,
We'd tie them up and flail them.
Often, men of low degree,
And often men of steel.
They'd make you walk the plank alone,
Or haul you 'round the keel.
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
It's your money that we want,
And your money we shall have!
(Adam whistles here)
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
It's your money that we want,
And your money we shall have!
Of all the pirates on the seas,
The worst of them was Blackbeard.
So damnable a fiend from hell,
He was the one they most feared.
Any man who sailed with him
Was taking quite a chance.
He'd hang them from the gallows,
Just to see if they could dance.
Ha! Ha!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
It's your money that we want,
And your money we shall have!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
It's your money that we want,
And your money we shall have!
