WHEN PIRATES COME TO VISIT ME

When pirates come to visit me

I send them straight back out to sea

If any start in to swashbuckle

I'll soon be rapping on their knuckle

If Blue Beard comes and yells "Avast!"

I'll shave his beard off, clean and fast

When Captain Morgan stops for rum

Off he goes, I give him none

When pirates came to steal my dinner

They soon were gone, one missed dinner thinner

When sneaking in the window they came

I chased them back to the Spanish Main

If in my living room they stroll

They're soon in chains, down in my hold

When they run up their Jolly Rodger

They find that I'm a tough old codger

In my house pirates I don't allow

No shots fired across my bow

No horn pipe jigs, no "Walk the Plank"

Or naughty pesky pirate pranks

For in my house

It's plain to see

There's room for one pirate

And that pirate's me
