[Verse 1]
Living in a car isn't very yarr
Living in a home would chill me to the bone
Living up a tree is not the life for me
But living on a ship, yeah, that'd do the trick

[Chorus]
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land

[Chorus]
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land

[Hook]
Big ship, little ship!
Big ship, little ship, cardboard box!

[Verse 2]
Living in a lighthouse, that'd be a shite house
Living in shed would make me feel dead
Living in a city would be really shitty
But living on a boat would float my boat
[Chorus]
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land

[Chorus]
I was born to sail the sea
A pirate's life is the one for me
So come my friend and take my hand
The time has come to forsake the land

[Hook]
Big ship, little ship!
Big ship, little ship, cardboard box!
