The Pirate Song

(album: Southern Stars - 1984)

I want to be a pirate
Sail the seven seas
A vagabond, a buccaneer
Nobody badder than me
A parrot on my shoulder
A rolling deck 'neath my feat
Coloured tattoos 'n' golden rings
A pirate's life can't be beat

I wanna sail the seven seas
Just to live a life that is free

Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game

I gotta be a pirate
Sail the seven seas
A vagabond, a buccaneer
Nobody badder than me
I'll fly the jolly roger
I'll live without a care
Wanna be a lovable rogue
Dashing and debonair

I wanna sail the seven seas
I've got to live a life that is free

Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
Sailing, the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game

I wanna sail the seven seas
Just to live a life that is free

Sailing, on the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
Sailing, on the bounding main
Playing, a pirate's game
