I'm a Pirate

Thirteen Years,
France and England were fighting,
Which became, a profitable thing,
Thousands of Sailors,
Became Privateers,
Robbing Merchant ships, for their King.
They'd split the wealth,
That they would steal,
Between themselves, and their Countries Crown,

And this was legal,
Sanctioned and legal,
And they were heroes,
Bringing their enemy down,
Pilage and Plunder,
Maraud like thunder,
Pilfer and Ravage,
Then split the loot, with the Crown,

Privateers,
We're making their fortunes,
But that ended, this one fine day,
England and France,
They both made peace,
Now their war had gone away,
Privateers, were out of a job,
Robbing Merchant Ships,
Now a crime,

Unemployment,
Breeds no enjoyment,
Pilage and Plunder,
With a sword and gun,
If we keep going,
The law ignoring,
Then we are showing,
The Criminals we've become,

No longer a Privateer anymore,
(no no no)
Now Robbing ships,
Is a Criminal chore,
(go go go)
But it's a job,
And the only thing, I know how to do...
(It's a job that he knows how to do)

No longer a Privateer anymore,
(no no no)
I need a job,
What am I trained for?,
(go go go)
Robbing ships,
Is the only thing, I know how to do...
(It's the job that he knows how to do)

Now I'm a Pirate, (he's a pirate) look at me,
They call me Pirate, (such a pirate) sailing on the high seas,
I'm a Pirate, (what a pirate) and I'm sailing at you...
(he's a pirate and he's sailing at you.)

Now I'm a Pirate, (he's a pirate) look at me,
Cause I'm a Pirate, (such a pirate) sailing on the high seas,
I'm a Pirate, (what a pirate) and I'm sailing for you...

No longer a Privateer anymore,
(no no no)
I've been fired,
Been kicked out the door,
(go go go)
Robbing ships,
Is the only job I've been trained to do...
(He's been trained, now he's sailing for you)

They call me Pirate...(he's a pirate). look at me,
Now I'm a Pirate...(such a pirate)...sailing on the high seas,
I'm a Pirate...(what a pirate) and I'm sailing for you...
(he's a pirate and he's sailing for you.)
I'm a Pirate...(it's the job that he knows how to do).
The call me Pirate...(on a ship with a sea faring crew)...
A Robbing Pirate...(he's a pirate. but so are we too)
A bad Pirate...(we're all pirates and we're sailing for you,
Nasty Pirate...(It's the job that we're all trained to do,
We're all pirates and our parrots are our only best friend)
