Captain Hook, he's a sensitive soul Who just thrives on committing foul crimes And I'm sure we could gently cajole him With fond reminiscence of happier times Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch Think back to our murderous larks One swipe of your cutlass Your foes all fell gutless And then became food for the sharks Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch No pirate could equal your fame Those wimps from penzance Would be filling their pants Every time someone uttered your name Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch 'Twas truly a glorious past The beautiful briny Your hook nice and shiny The corpses we hung from the mast Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch Forget this young boy who can fly We're sure you would sooner Go sink a nice schooner But for pirates, it's a mistake If your swash hasn't buckled for years And as pirates, we need a break 'Cos we're down on our luck as lame-duck buccaneers Think back to our murderous larks Our murderous larks Our murderous larks Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch Nostalgia is good for the soul Those kids are a canker It's time we laid anchor And played our traditional role Just two drops of this brings a hideous death Let's watch as those children All draw their last breath Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch We used to be hideous crooks As pirates our duty Is nicking the booty It says so in all the best books Look back through a rose-tinted eye-patch Remeber those halcoyn days It may be immoral But who's gonna quarrel For good honesty piracy pays... For good honesty piracy pays
