Lyrics

[Intro]
Dead men tell no tales
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 1]
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 2]
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 3]
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Verse 4]
We're rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 5]
We're beggars and blighters, and ne'er do-well cads
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 6]
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 7]
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me
[Verse 8]
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We're rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 9]
We're beggars and blighters, and ne'er do-well cads
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
[Verse 10]
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho
[Refrain]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me
