Poems of a Piratey Persuasion

[dwgm]

Finishing up the month with a couple of piratey songs, which seems appropriate. ;)




~ A Pirate's Life ~
From Disney's Peter Pan

Oh, a pirate's life is a wonderful life,
A-rovin' over the sea,
Give me a career as a buccaneer
It's the life of a pirate for me
Oh, the life of a pirate for me!
Oh, a pirate's life is a wonderful life,
They never bury you're bones,
For when it's all over a jolly sea rover
Drops in on his friend, Davey Jones
Oh, my good friend , Davey Jones!

~ Shiver My Timbers ~
From Muppet's Treasure Island

Shiver My Timbers, shiver My Soul
Yo Ho Heave Ho
There are men whose hearts as black as coal
Yo Ho Heave Ho

And they sailed there ship 'cross the ocean blue
A Blood thirsty captain and a cut throat crew.
Its a darker tale as was ever told
Of a lust for treasure and a love of gold...

Shiver My Timbers, Shiver my sides
Yo ho heave ho
There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides
Yo ho heave ho

And those bucaneers drowned there sins in rum,
The devil himself would have to call 'em scum!
Every man on board would have killed his mate for a bag of
guineas or a piece of eight, a piece of eight, a piece of eight
5 6 7 8

HULA WOKA HULA WOKA SOMETHING NOT RIGHT
MANY WICKY ICKY THINGS GONNA HAPPEN TONIGHT
HULA WOKA HULA WOKA SAILOR MAN BEWARE

When the money in the ground there;s murder in the air,
Murder in the air.

ONE MORE TIME NOW

Shiver my timbers, Shiver my bones
Yo ho heave ho
There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones
Yo ho heave ho

When the main sails set and the anchors weighed
Theres no turning back from any course that's laid

And when greed and felony sail the sea,
You can bet your boots there'll be treachery HA HA HA

Shiver my timber, Shiver my sail
Dead men tell no tales!

Those songs are on an extra CD of pirate songs that came with the first copy of DMC I bought. Great stuff!

The Muppets, eh? Never would thought they had it in 'em!

That's a pretty cute movie, lots of play on every pirate and nautical cliché they could think of.

Before my trip to Key West last summer, I bought a kids' CD of pirates songs released by Disney called "Swashbuckling Sea Songs". It's FANTASTIC.
Yes, I know it's for kids, but it was fun for two adult women to sing along in a convertable from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West.
