The Lyrics
a pirate's recruiting song
Well seamen often get cleaner
When I push them off the plank
And when they survive the water
They never show me much thanks
It seems that they all hold grudges
But there's nothing they can do
I bribed all the kings and judges
So I have a license to
Plunder the sea
Plunder the sea
Looting and drinking
And always thinking
Immorally
Don't get all sore with honest work
This job is fun and full of perks
You won't believe it
'Til you achieve it
Plunder the sea
So some illness killed your father
Your brother got all the land
And you just don't want to bother
With trades using skill with hands
You don't want to go to college
But poverty don't sound good
I'm rich and don't have much knowledge
But i do know that you should
Plunder the sea
Plunder the sea
Stealing from merchants
Made this ex-urchin
Rather wealthy
Ships see the black flag on our mast
And try to flee but we're too fast
Stealing possessions -
The best profession
Plunder the sea
Plunder the sea
Got so much riches
That in big ditches
Some is buried
Pete is a surgeon he transplants
Things from a purse into his pants
Life is all sunny
With all this money
Plunder the sea
Well Bob likes to rob
And Lou does that too
The rum makes us dumb
And fight our own crew
That's why we need guys
To aid with our raids
And Stan is the man with swords
Well Neil's known to steal
And Brad is just bad
And Jake likes to take
What rich people had
We're knaves who are brave
And also depraved
We steal things when we're bored
Plunder the sea
Plunder the sea
Then spend our treasure
On all sorts of pleasure
Filled activities
What do I do? I won't say now
But after you know you will say wow
You'll know what I do
When you decide to
Plunder the sea
You'll meet my parrot
His name is Barrett
Plunder the Sea
Me and me hearties
Love to throw parties
Of five off the boat
After that we gloat
You ought to try it
Come be a pirate
Plunder the Sea
When I push them off the plank
And when they survive the water
They never show me much thanks
It seems that they all hold grudges
But there's nothing they can do
I bribed all the kings and judges
So I have a license to
Plunder the sea
Plunder the sea
Looting and drinking
And always thinking
Immorally
Don't get all sore with honest work
This job is fun and full of perks
You won't believe it
'Til you achieve it
Plunder the sea
So some illness killed your father
Your brother got all the land
And you just don't want to bother
With trades using skill with hands
You don't want to go to college
But poverty don't sound good
I'm rich and don't have much knowledge
But i do know that you should
Plunder the sea
Plunder the sea

You´re prolonging your plank I see, estimation: 555 Inches.
aaah, I like it. The rhymes are very fun... The song is definitely an all-fiver. Good job.
It's an 'earty one matey, i gives ya fives.
Seamen? Seamen? Spending their treasure on all sorts of pleasure? Hmph!
seamen is the best substitution for seaweed meaning sailor. I don't think i've said anything here that they couldn't get away with in a Disney cartoon... although i guess all the innuendo filled parodies might have rubbed off on me a little bit.
Yar, great work there, matey. I be a humble hearty not ta gives ya 5's. From 'Bob likes to rob' until 'fight our own crew' had me in stitches, Long 'than Mawyer.
This is really good. I'm quite impressed that you made it all the way through a pirate parody without a single "booty" reference. I'm pulling three fives out of my swag bag for you.
5s, Ethan...=)
This one's a fun song to do, isn't it? Nice concept (and the "Well Bob likes to rob.." bits would probably work well in a "50 ways to be a pirate" parody) :-)
(SOTM) Already commented. Now restoring my 5s.
(SOTM) I like it even more the second time around! 5s...
SOTM Disney songs are hard to parody sometimes. You did a great job though. 5^3
(SOTM) DKTOS but I liked the rhymes, etc. ;)
SOTM-I voted...
Great work. We play this.
SOTM Nicely done.
(SOTM July) Delightful, clean and clever, with just a hint of saltiness.
Good stuff, Maynard. 545
(SOTM) Nice, fun parody, 555
SOTM, 5 5 5 I really like "throw parties of five...off the boat
(SOTM) Arrr, I do like to take! But you can take some kudos fer a fine shanty, me matey! Arrrrr! And I yank out of Long John Silver's beard an ol' favourite o' mine: M8 Ahoi: http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/arvillavigne0.shtml
SOTM -- (Drat, Ravyn beat me to working in a mention of booty. Oh well.) Nice work, Ethan.
Disneyriffic, E-thang. Lotsa sweet rhymes. You're a helluva lyricist.
(SOTM) Excellent as always Ethan. Liked the 'brother got all the land" line!
My favorite part was "me and me hearties/ love to throw parties/ of five off the boat" but the whole thing was really good.
"Pete is a surgeon he transplants, Things from a purse into his pants"....very interesting Ethan! I liked it.
sotm--Not your best, but not bad
