Up in the morning, out of bed I put a bandana on my head I put a patch upon my eye Run downstairs, and then I cry - (Run downstairs, and then I cry - )
(Chorus:) Yo ho ho, don't you know, a pirate's life is great-so 'Cause we don't take baths and we don't take naps, and we don't clean our plates-o [Ahrrrr!]
When they put food on my plate I will not touch the stuff I hate They say "Why don't you take a bite?" I shout out loud with all my might - (shout out loud with all my might - )
(Chorus)
Then they sit me on their lap They say, "Why don't you take a nap?" I might be tired, but I don't go a crabby pirate just says no! (a crabby pirate just says no!)
(Chorus)
I've got a pirate ship and a pirate crew I've got a pirate brother too ("Ay ay, mate!") [I sing "pirate Jenny"] Captain is my pirate's rank We'll make our parents walk the plank! (make our parents walk the plank)
(Chorus)
Well, I eat my dinner at the end of the day (I) put my pirate stuff away I take a bath, and climb in bed Pirate dreams are in my head (Pirate dreams are in my head)
