Another Sea Dogs Song

SPOKEN: We've told you we aren't Pirates, we're the Queen's Privateers. But we know Pirates.
SPOKEN: And an awful life it is.
SPOKEN: Aye. Tragic.
SPOKEN: You remember Slobkin the Scurvy? Now that was a pitiful Pirate.
SPOKEN: You remember that little ditty he used to sing?
SPOKEN: Like it was yesterday
SUNG: I'm Slobkin the Scurvy and my life's a wreck,
I got sea sick the first time I walked on a deck,
My fortune's a bleak one, full of sadness and tears,
But it might be helped if you bought me some beers
(CHORUS)
I got the eye-patch, peg leg, my parrot died, Buccaneer blues
Covered with woe no corsair would choose,
Thought I'd done my time
Thought I'd paid all my dues
BUT
I got the eye patch, peg leg, my parrot died, Buccaneer blues.
END CHORUS
I woke up this morning,
With my cutlass in my hand,
Been way too long
Since I walked in the sand,
All the other pirates are treating me mean
And my last two teeth just turned green
CHORUS
When Roger's not jolly
When my toughts are all black
When the Spainyards will catch me
And take everything back
The blues won't retreat
And I can't attack
CHORUS
Got no island girl to love me
Got no treasure no how,
Got to find me some way
To get off of this scow
And if I stay on this boat
I wanna get off any how
CHORUS
Got the eye patch, peg leg, my parrot died, lost my treasure map, been drinking bilge water, got arrested by the fashion police, buccaneer blues!
