Since I’ve left my town from the port
I’ve gone abroad and founded my own fort
We stand for justice and our sense of fun
Not to be put down by anyone
It’s such a sobering thought to think
This adventure may end some day
But we’re having fun for now, so what’s the harm
The fun will last long but I don’t think we will
We’ll do what we want
We’ll do what we please
On our ship we can’t get hurt
We love it here on the sea
And when we have to go home
We’ll always have these times to go back to
Never have to get down again
As long as the memories remain
We jump around from town to town
Never a thought about what could go down
Sometimes I meet someone from my old life
Before I joined my gang of pirates I was nothing
I tell them to shove off
And we go down our merry own way
I feel the heat on my neck now
I know there’s no going back now
We’ll do what we want
We’ll do what we please
On our pirate ship we can’t get hurt
Wandering around for as long as we please
And when we have to go home
We’ll always have these times to go back to
Never have to get down again
As long as the memories remain
It was June 16’th when I left home
I don’t regret it for one gosh darn second
My family may miss me
But it feels so good to be a pirate
One time, I was taking the ship over the crest of a wave
But we all washed up on a nearby island
Everyone turned up alive and well so it was all fine
And I’m here telling the story aren’t I?
