Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (yo-ho)
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (yo-ho)
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (yo-ho)
We kindle and char, in flame and ignite
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho

We're rascals and scoundrels and we're villains and knaves
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho
We're jokers and black sheep, we're really bad eggs
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (hey)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (yo-ho)

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Stand up me hearties, yo-ho (hey)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (yo-ho)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (hey)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (yo-ho)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, a pirate's life for me (hey)
