Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, ho ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, ho ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

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

Yo ho, ho ho, a pirate's life for me
Yo ho, ho ho, a pirate's life for me! YO HO!
