I walked upon a ship one day, black flags upon it flew
An elder stopped and goaded me, "Son, who the fuck are you?"
I said, "I need to catch a break, show me the pirate way"
"I'll make you a pirate, follow me, hoy"
"Let's go, oh!
I'm Captain O'Malley, follow me, hoy!"
First night we set to Vale's cove to practice what he preached
A dozen ships or more were there and several more had beached
Like the tide, the mood had change, the old dog tripped and fell
For his name was Captain Boone O'Malley and his life's a living hell
I looked him, square in the eye
When said "I don't know how to chantey, alright?"
He said, "Dear boy, don't be a fool
It's all in life we do"
The moon looked down in disbelief
Stars avert their gaze
Chantey long into the night, we plunder tomorrow
"I'm Captain O'Malley, follow me, hoy!"
He said, "Go grab your boarding axe, I'll teach you how to plunder
Keep your feet steady now, be careful not to chunder
Fill your pockets full of loot, don't forget the gold
Split your share evenly, it's in the Pirates code"
I looked him, square in the eye
When said "I don't know how to chantey, alright?"
He said, "Dear boy, don't be a fool
It's all in life we do"
The moon looked down in disbelief
Stars avert their gaze
Chantey long into the night, we plunder tomorrow
O'Malley's time will now end
He's had his last day of glory
"Go finish what I've begun
You're the ships' captain now
Run this ship and all its loot
Plunder nations, plunder fortunes
Now one last time, my dear boy
Show me how you how chantey"
Loot, hoy
