Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses an eye
It hurts like it blazes, it makes you pull faces
But you can't let your mates see you cry
A fancy black patch will cover the hatch
Making sure that the sucker stays dry
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses an eye
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses an ear (pardon?)
Blood drips down your neck, it falls on the deck
And somebody says ay, what's this 'ere?
You can't wear your glasses, you don't pull the lasses
And folks have to shout so you'll hear
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses an ear
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses a hand
It spurts and it squirts, it jolly well hurts!
Pain only a pirate can stand
The fashionable look is a nice metal hook
But now you can't play in the band (sorry!)
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses a hand
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses a leg
It hurts like a dickens, your pace never quickens
Hobbling around on a peg
Ask your sweetheart to marry, but too long you've tarried
'Cause now you can't kneel down and beg
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses a leg
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses a whatsit (shiver)
Use it and choose it, but you don't wanna lose it
Let's hope somebody spots it (I'm not picking it up!)
The doc comes along, he sews it back on
He ties it up tight and he knots it (he tied it too tight!)
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses a whatsit
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
It's all part of being a pirate (a pirate, a pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
