Pirate Words
~
All hands hoy, heave ho or shark bait for the sea,
swashbuckling seadogs, blow the man down, an eye for an eye.
Avast ye now batten down the hatches, there's land we see,
feed the fish of Davy Jones' locker, walk the plank, aye aye.

Hornswagglers get a hempen halter ye hear,
so we pillaged pieces of eight until the conch shell blew.
Blimey lad, cleave a buccaneer to the brisket with this cutlass here,
no privateers nor scallywag landlubbers, just old salt sailing the blue.

Up in the crow's nest, the lookout keeps sight for low tide,
strung high from the mizzen, a black flag of Jolly Roger held tight by knot.
Run a rig, run a shot across the bow, keelhaul ropes tied,
bring a spring upon'er, the shallows we go not.
