Terry and the Pirates

Terry and his pirate friends
Will they stick together?
Will there be an end?
Terry, a pirate of some fame
Kept them all together
At least that was his aim

Now Terry and his pirates, were on the open sea
For weeks and weeks they lived like that
(in perfect harmony)
Then one day they heard "Land Ho!" An island sat before the bow
And the natives seemed the friendly type. I think they were saying
"Hum diddle diddley
Hum diddle diddle diddle
Hum diddle diddley
Hum diddle doo"
Yes the natives were the friendly type
The island was a pleasant place, with riches vast
And lots of rum, and women raised on tropic sun

Terry, and his pirate friends
Will they stick together?
Will there be an end?

Now the natives and the pirates mixed
Exchanging fruit for civil gifts
Then they showed them all around the place
And the pirates slowed to island pace
Soon a pig was cooked on barbecue
And there was lots for each and all to chew
As night came on they did the twist
It went something like this
"Hum diddle diddley
Hum diddle diddle diddle
Hum diddle diddley
Hum diddle doo"

And they said
You can't take my joy away
You can't take my joy away

The next morning, Terry was awoken by a very rude awakening
His ship was sailing off into the wild blue yonder
Without him, the crew, would surely fall asunder
But Terry did not mind much (he didn't mind)
Pirating was easy to decline
Terry did not mind much (he didn't mind)
He built himself a hut on island prime

And he said
You can't take my joy away
You can't take my joy away
