Booty Bound lyrics

[Intro]

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!

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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!

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

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!

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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