when I was just a lad looking for my true location
my father said: no son this choice deserves deliberation
though you can be a doctor (!) or perhaps a financier (!)
my boy why not consider a more challeging career!
now take sir Fancis Drake
the Spanish all despised him
but to the British, he's a hero
and they idolize him
it's how you look at buccaneers
that makes them bad or good
and I see me as member of a noble botherhood

On occascion there may be someone you have to execute
but when you're a professional pirate
you don't have to wear a suit
I could have been a surgeon (!)
I loved taking things apart
I could have been a lawyer
But I just had too much heart
I could have been in politics
Cos I've allways been a big spender
and I, I could also have been
a contender

There's someone who says pirates steal
and should be feared and hated
I say: we're victims of bad press
it's all exaggerated
we never stab you in the back
we never lie or cheat
we're just the bunch of nicest guys
you ever want to meet
