Captain James Bosworth - Booty Bound lyrics

Set the sails! Hoist'em up, ya bilge rats!
Bring us broadside! Swing us back around!
Ah! See those sober sailors, Sammy?
Sammy, Captain? Sing with me a shanty!
Aye Aye!

Raise the anchor, then yer tankard
Play yer hurdy-gurdies
Slug yer grog, ye old seadog
And drink away yer scurvy
Me words are slurred, me eyes are blurred
The world's turned topsy turvy
Won't start a new venture
Till all me crew members
Are drunk and far from thirsty
All hands on deck, me hearties
When the waves are ragin' hardest
You'll all obey, or walk the plank
As bait to feed the sharks with
We'll brave the dangerous seas
And they will see our flag the farthest
Ye can ask the tavern wenches
They all know me mast's the largest
Yo ho! Yer wife, I mean
It's a pirate's life for me
Chests and booty - I'd like to see
I'll cross the seas to find a piece
I'm speakin' of gold and riches
I'll take all I can load my ship with
Ladies sail the seas with me
To see how real a Moby Dick is

A skull arises skywards
Thar's booty to be found
You can put my ass on blast
Avast, you'll never shoot me down
We're paid doubloons to play our tunes
On top of the loot we've found
So make room on the poopdeck
All aboard, we're booty bound

Land Ho, ye scallywags!
Grab a shovel and help me dig
If the spoils are less than treasure
We'll lock you up in the Galleon brig
Have ya glanced the map, ya rapscallion?
The X will mark the jackpot
Dig a hole in the ground, if no loot is found
Then we'll be met with the Black Spot
I'm a crackshot with me musket here
Like a swashbucklin' buccaneer
If you spot our Jolly Roger near
You'll see just what all landlubbers fear
We've sprung a leak! Struck from the rear!
Pick up your trusty bucket, cheers!
I'm bloody drunk, somebody steer
He's gonna barf, everybody clear!
Captain, how the seas have blackened
From the deep, a beast attackin'
Failure's hard to swallow but that's
All we'll feed the Kraken!
Aye, we'll blast him outta the water
Haul our cargo back to harbor
Only men of mine left behind are those
Who don't know Port from Starboard!
We'll never be ripped asunder
Through thunderstorms and sunburns
We'll scavenge, plunge, and plunder
Even when we be seasick drunkards
And we'll sing a salty shanty
Should our sorry ship go under
Then we'll spend some time with Davy Jones
Where sunken sailors slumber!

A skull arises skywards
Thar's booty to be found
You can put my ass on blast
Avast, you'll never shoot me down
We're paid doubloons to play our tunes
On top of the loot we've found
So make room on the poopdeck
All aboard, we're booty bound

Yo ho ho, with me bottle of rum
It be all that I've brung to drink
Coast to coast, we roam
Till we're wobbly drunk
Or the Kraken catches up with me

I'd prefer a doom at sea
Better men have met worse fates
Like a stir of mutiny
Stabbed in the back by yer first mates
We be wanderlusts, with our blunderbusses
And constant want of bananas
Are you one of us? If you're not to trust
Then we'll launch you to
Land from our cannons
Eyes to the sky, it's Peter Pan!
Enjoy the beach, ye skeevy clam
Keep to the shore, never leave the sand
Lest your stern get beat and rammed!
Ye can barely wield a cutlass
Much less even read a compass
Pray the mermaids give ye guidance
Cuz you're just as dumb as Colombus
The cracklin' bones of captains old
Shall never shiver me timbers
I don't parlay with the dead
Instead, I'm leaving these
Skeletons splintered
We'll solve their clues, and hoard doubloons
I'll score me loot, or drown!
Ya goonies, watch for boobie traps
Me crew is booty bound!

A skull arises skywards
Thar's booty to be found
You can put my ass on blast
Avast, you'll never shoot me down
We're paid doubloons to play our tunes
On top of the loot we've found
So make room on the poopdeck
All aboard, we're booty bound

Yo ho yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
