It's Great to Be a Pirate

It's Great to Be a Pirate is a song from Between the Lions.

Lyrics
Anne Bonney's the queen of the pirates. Anne Bonney flies over the sea. Anne Bonney will teach you, Yes, let me beseech you To come be a pirate with me.

Well, first ye need a ship, and then ye need a crew. And only a leaky, creaky ship and a nasty crew will do!

And then ye need a chest, full of lots of gold and loot. And a flag with a skull and a few seagulls And a dirty old pipe to toot!

It's great to be a pirate! Yo-ho, ahoy, ahoy! And you can be a pirate, too, even if you're a boy!

To the ship! To the ship! To the ship, ship, ship!

Aye, some would say we're mean, and some would say we're bad. But they all admit when they're trying it, it's the most fun that they've had.

And if they give you lip, then you make 'em walk the plank. Could have got me a job where I couldn’t be a slob, But I always said no thanks.

It's great to be a pirate! Yo-ho, ahoy, ahoy! And you can be a pirate, too, even if you're a boy!
