Raise the mast on the steadfast Swifter than a bareback seahorse Sailing an uncharted sea course Who could survive such a dangerous mission? Alongside pirates with zero ambition We got the coconuts poured We dropped the hooks overboard And if you get a little sea sick We play a haddock for a hat trick We got the hammocks on the main deck (swingin' low) We got the butler doing the hen-peck (screamin' so) He say we should have been swabbin' the poop deck (we don't know) It's what the other pirates do, do But we're bringin' you Yo ho, hero Standin' in the gap Where'd ya put the toys? Time to take a nap Yo ho, heroes Flighty as a bird Easy is the word Yo, I'm seeing no heroes We're on a limbo craze It's a relic from my limbo days Now we're stuck inside the limbo zone It's where the pirates go with too much time And a missing spine Yo ho, heroes Standin' in the gap Where'd ya put the map? Take another nap Yo ho, heroes Strike a better pose That's the way it goes Yo, I'm seeing no heroes We're on the bad mood swing We haven't done one thing Not even a minimum daily requirement We got the funk without the parliament And if you're feeling a little seasick (rise and shine) And if you wanna get off the guilt trip (now's the time) Because the captain of the main ship (rings the chime) He could be coming before you know him What are ya gonna show him? Go hero Standing in the gap Taking up the slack Following the king's map Go hero Steady as a rock I know it's a shock Yo, there be a hero Go hero Standing in the gap Taking up the slack Following the king's map Go hero Steady at the wheel Keep an even keel Yo, there be the king's hero

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike The bosun brained with a marlinspike And cookey's throat was marked belike It had been gripped by fingers ten; And there they lay, all good dead men Like break o'day in a boozing ken. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of the whole ship's list Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! The skipper lay with his nob in gore Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore And the scullion he was stabbed times four And there they lay, and the soggy skies Dripped down in up-staring eyes In murk sunset and foul sunrise Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Ten of the crew had the murder mark! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead Or a yawing hole in a battered head And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes Looking up at paradise All souls bound just contrariwise Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of 'em good and true Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! There was chest on chest of Spanish gold With a ton of plate in the middle hold And the cabins riot of stuff untold, And they lay there that took the plum With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb While we shared all by the rule of thumb, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! More was seen through a sternlight screen... Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Chartings undoubt where a woman had been Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. 'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid That dared the knife and took the blade By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight And we heaved 'em over and out of sight, With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
