By monsters great and monsters old

A pirates’ tale is ever told

For when men forget

The stories of yore

The beasts remember so much more

For the pirates seldom tell their side

Admitting defeat means losing pride

So independent

The sacrifice

Working alone you pay the price

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-oh

Nautical tales

Wherever the waves flow

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-dee

Choose the right path

Or get lost at sea

For once was a day in time since passed

A laddy worked hard on tedious tasks

He swabbed the deck

But what do you know?

He tumbled from the ship to fathoms below

He sunk to the depths under stormy skies

Is this the part where he drowns and dies?

But what the luck

A savior was there

A towering serpent with eels for hair

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-oh

Nautical tales

Wherever the winds blow

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-dee

Choose the right path

Or get swept out to sea

It dwarfed the mightiest ships in the lands

Its gills were great; with webb’ed hands

The sailor gasped

Weak and afraid

Scared of the what would render him saved

“A monster’s a monster,” the buccaneers say

But who kept the seaman from drowning that day?

Not the pirates who plunder

With cannons and planks

The monster, nay, creature, instead earned the thanks

Singin’

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-oh

Nautical tales

Buried with go-ld

Yo hoo vo-de-lie-dee

Choose the right path

Or be buried

In the great,

Vast depths

Of the sea!
