Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me
I sent a song by pony express,
laughin' now at the return address
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
I write and write and do my best,
send it to her, she does the rest
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
Shiver me timbers, we're havin' fun,
sailin' away, we're on the run
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
Legends we are it rings so true,
an accord we have, blessed by you
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
Aye, we hear everyone that begs,
we love to sing really bad eggs
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
