[Verse 1]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Stand up me hearties, yo ho

[Verse 2]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack
Stand up me hearties, yo ho

[Verse 3]
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Stand up me hearties, yo ho

[Bridge]
We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villains and knaves
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
We're jokers and black sheep, we're really bad eggs
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
[Verse 4]
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Stand up me hearties, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
