The Pirate Song

lyrics

Hey mom don't expect to hear from me I ran away with the British infantry,
They invited me and Kristy to camp out by the campgrounds,

Turtle soup's a change from fruit loops I'll only eat it if you let me shoot your gun,
And we can keep it next to me in case the police come,
An that'll keep em away I saw an old man's bare ass today,
Remember that Kristy, when he bent over his friend laughed at me,

Well I wouldn't worry like that sweetie,
Cause police round here won't bark up that tree and he said,
It's cause we're really not the British infantry,
We are the pirates from the Caribbean Sea

I wanna be a pirate, I wanna be a pirate, I wanna be a pirate
Dum dum dum,
I wanna be a pirate, i wanna be a pirate,

Hey mom don't expect to hear from me I ran away with the British infantry,
Sorry they're just too much fun, they roll their own cigarettes and they gave me some,
And did I mention I now own a gun
They make their own muskets I'm the captain of a ship and they call me Captain Kris,
They're just too much fun and they gave me a gun,
I like the sound of Captain Kris it's got a nice little ring to it I wanna be a pirate,

Hey mom don't expect to hear from me I ran away with the British infantry,
Now I'm sailin around the Caribbean Sea,
I stole my first yacht from a guy named Andy Mckee,
I left him with a life boat and a flare so don't worry,
Oh now I'm headed to Mexico to sell it for a large sum,
So I can buy better swords and more rum,

I wanna be a pirate, I wanna be a pirate, I wanna be a pirate
Dum dum dum,
I wanna be a pirate, i wanna be a pirate,

Hey mom don't expect to hear from me I ran away with the British infantry,
I'm sure you saw the TV there's a warning thats out,
I'm the hell raising pirate of LSC,
Hell yeah that's me,
I can't imagine how proud Ry & Murphy must be,

Hey mom don't expect to hear from me I ran away with the British infantry,
They're just too much fun, they roll their own cigarettes and they gave me some,
And did I mention I now own a gun
They make their own muskets I'm the captain of a ship and they call me Captain Kris,
They're just too much fun and they gave me a gun,
I like the sound of Captain Kris it's got a nice little ring to it I wanna be a pirate,
I'm finally a Pirate.
