Oh I like to be a pirate
A pirate's life for me
All my friends are pirates
And sail the B.B.C
I've got a Jolly Roger
It's black and white and vast
So get out of your Skull and Crossbones
And I'll run it up your mast

With a yo-ho-ho
And a ya-ha-ha
And a ye-hee-ha-ha-hum
With a yo-ho-ho
And a ya-ha-ha
And a yum-yum-jum-jum-yum
I've got a Jolly Roger
It's black and white and vast
So get out of your Skull and Crossbones
I'll run it up your mast

All together, I like to be a pirate
A pirate's life for me
All my friends are pirates
And sail the B.B.C
I've got a Jolly Roger
It's black and white and vast
So get out of your Skull and Crossbones
And I'll run it up your mast
With a yo-ho-ho
And a ye-hee-hee
And a ye-hee-ha-ha-hum
A yo-ho-ho
And a ya-ha-ha
And a yum-yum-jum-jum-yum
I've got a Jolly Roger
It's black and white and vast
So get out of your Skull and Crossbones
I'll run it up your mast

One more time, I like to be a pirate
A pirate's life for me
All my friends are pirates
And sail the B.B.C
I've got a Jolly Roger
It's black and white and vast
So get out of your Skull and Crossbones
I'll run it up your mast
