A LIFELONG PIRATE MAN



I got one good eye, and the other's a patch

I use me hook when I got an itch to scratch

Cos I'm a pirate man, me lad, a lifelong pirate man



(All) And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, ho

      And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, yo-ho, ho



One leg is me own, and the other's a log

My parrot and I both drink the grog 

Cos I'm a pirate man, me lad, a lifelong pirate man



(All) And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, ho

      And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, yo-ho, ho



I've been at sea since aught eight three

  on dry land I'm topsy turvy

I sing chanty rhymes and eat my limes

  tis best to ward off scurvy

me lad, ye don't want scurvy



I got one good eye, and the other's a patch

I use me hook when I got an itch to scratch

One leg is me own, and the other's a log

My parrot and I both drink the grog 

Cos I'm a pirate man, me lad, a lifelong pirate man



(All) And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, ho

      And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, yo-ho, ho

      And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, ho

      And we sing, yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, yo-ho, ho



      Cos we're lifelong pirate men!







SMEE'S LAMENT



Swab the deck, swab the deck, swab the deck

All day long I swab the deck

This life at sea can go to heck

All day long I swab the deck



Scrape the hull, scrape the hull, scrape the hull

All day long I scrape the hull

This life at sea is terrible dull

All day long I scrape the hull



Smee do this, Smee do that!

I don't like parrots, I want a cat.

But sailors can't have a pet like that.

Smee come here, Smee go there!

Fetch me a dish, fetch me a chair!

I don't even like the fresh open air.

I like trees. 



(spoken) Ah, trees. With cats in them.

(spoken, off-stage) SMEE! HOIST THE SAIL!



Hoist the sail, hoist the sail, hoist the sail,

All day long I hoist the sail

It's either this or go to jail

All day long I hoist the sail



Boo-hoo!
