We sail our ship through the harbor at night
We steal the riches from all
We take what we want, we'll never get caught
The end of a rope to be pulled
At home on the sea, the wide ocean blue
The devils byways be bad
If you cross our sails, we'll run up our flag,
You'd better take hold of your brats

Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Liquor and whores

You can hide your lasses and rum in your hold
We'll plunder your ship all the same
We'll steal your silver and bury your gold
You'll walk up the plank in your shame
Your women will cry, your women will wail
At first they'll be calling your name
But a couple of days with the lads and me
They'll never again be the same

Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!

Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Liquor and whores

We take a big risk living this kind of life
We lie, we cheat and we steal
We might get hung and go straight to hell
I think we'd be getting a deal
Hell's the place for cutthroats and thieves
Pirates like you and me
The rum flows like water, the wenches are hot
The liquor and whores are free

Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Hey lads, why do we fight? We fight for liquor and whores!
Liquor and whores
Liquor and whores
Liquor and whores
