Drink of the Pirates Songtext
von Lagerstein

Rum is a drink
That our crewmates love to sink
Gather round and sing
It′s the drink of the pirates!
Raise your glass
For this may be your last
Tonight is unsurpassed
It's the drink of the pirates

When you′re caught drifting
Cast aloft at sea
Nothing to do, nowhere to hide
Alone as you can be
An innocent dip amongst the waves
Has buggered up my day
I can't remember where I parked my ship
Mate you're here to stay!


Floating right beside me
A bottle from last nights best
Rum shall it be? A savior to me!
Let′s put it to the test!
I hung for days and I hung for nights
It was then I finally saw
The rum′s brought me home to my crew
It's time to drink some more!

Rum is a drink
That our crewmates love to sink
Gather round and sing
It′s the drink of the pirates!
Raise your glass
For this may be your last
Tonight is unsurpassed
It's the drink of the pirates

Outside roar the cannons
This move is mighty bold
He′s come here to fight, a strike in the night
Some bastard wants my gold!
The wood is cracked and splintered
It's gone straight through the hull
If I don′t fix this, to our graves we'll go
The sea she'll have your soul!


Racing down the rigging
I rush below the deck
Water floods in! Floor starts to spin!
We mustn′t become a wreck
But this here blast shan′t be our last
I've seen this shape before
A bottle of rum will seal this breach
The rum it′s saved us all!

Rum is a drink
That our crewmates love to sink
Gather round and sing
It's the drink of the pirates!
Raise your glass
For this may be your last
Tonight is unsurpassed
It′s the drink of the pirates
