The Pirate King

Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly
Than play a sanctimonius part
With a pirate head and a pirate heart
Away to the cheating world go you
Where pirates all are well to do
But I'll be true to the song I sing
And live and die a Pirate King

For I am a Pirate King
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King
For I am a Pirate King
You are! Hurrah for the Pirate King
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King
It is! Hurrah for our Pirate King
Hurrah for the Pirate King

When I sally forth to seek my prey
I help myself in a royal way
I sink a few more ships, it's true
Than a well-bred monarch ought to do
But many a king on a first-class throne
If he wants to call his crown his own
Must manage somehow to get through
More dirty work than ever I do

For I am a Pirate King
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King
For I am a Pirate King
You are! Hurrah for the Pirate King
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King
It is! Hurrah for our Pirate King
Hurrah for the Pirate King
