Lords of the Sea Songtext
von Hugh Bonneville

Pirates: We′re cruel and vicious pirate men
As hard and tough as brass
By far, the fearsomest buccaneers
To ever walk on grass

Pirate #1: We pillage here
Pirate #2: And plunder there
Pirate #3: We rage from dusk till dawn
Pirates: We hoist the anchor and swab the deck
Pirate King: Then gather for drinks on the lawn

Pirates: We're the lords of the sea
Pirate King: Except we aren′t at sea
Pirates: We're the lords of the sea
Pirate King: Just not of the actual sea

Pirates: Arrgh!


Pirate #1: Now woe betide these scurvy knaves
Who end up in our way
Pirate #2: We'll challenge you to a round of golf
Pirate #3: Or possibly croquet
Pirates: And if you dare to do us wrong
You′ll walk the plank, no doubt
Down you′ll go to an awful fate
Pirate King: Those grass stains will never come out

Pirates: We're the lords of the sea
Pirate King: With quotes around the word "sea"
Pirates: We′re the lords of the sea
Pirate King: Except for the part with the sea

Pirates: Arrgh!

Pirate King: Now how we ended up here
'Tis a dire and dreadful tale
Pirate #1: The kind to leave the meanest rogue
A-pukin′ o'er the rail
Pirate #2: So fateful, so accursed
Pirate #3: Such a stroke of evil luck
Pirates: Our ship washed up on that thar hill
Pirate King: And, hey, I guess it′s stuck


Pirates: So now we hold the river here
By brutal, violent force
Pirate #1: We've also taken up gardening
Pirate #2: Sustainably
Pirate #3: Of course
Pirates: We make you pay to cross this way
And squeeze ya till it hurts!
Pirate King: And on the side, we sell a line
Of homemade organic desserts

Pirates: We're the lords of the sea
Pirate King: Though, technically, next to the sea
Pirates: We′re the lords of the sea
Or sort of, of the sea!
