Lyrics[]
Wrapped up in a flag of skull and bones
A pirate life was born
Born to drink and dream at night
And hold my head at dawn
A crow's nest for a cradle
I came down with a bump
My father made me walk the plank
My mother, she made me jump
(When I was one)
I practiced how to be a scurvy knave
(When I was two)
I think I knew that I could not be saved
(When I was three)
I learned to cut my sweeties with my sword
(When I was four)
I tried to throw my teacher overboard
(Between the years of five and eight
I learned the pirate code
One for you and three for me
And I will walk on the road
I will walk on the road)
Born and bred a pirate
To sink the seven seas
Born to live a rotten life
And do just what I please
Born to rob and pillage things
And do it with a song
Born to soak myself in rum
And make the right go wrong
(Between the years of five and eight
I learned the pirate code
One for you and three for me
And I will walk on the road
I will walk on the road)
(When I was nine)
The pirate world was right there at my feet
I raised a flag of skull and bones to make it all complete
(When I was ten)
(When I was four)
(When I was three)
(When I was two)
(When I was one)
