When you're a professional pirate....
*ahem* *ahem*
Yarrr.
Avast and ahoy, me hearties!
'Tis Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I'll be yer shipmate for the day.
The good ship Choir sets sail at 3:30 today, and I'll be there this time, mark my words. *waves wooden sword menacingly* And, thanks to me trusty mates (Throat Lozenge, Vitamin C, and Clariton), the Throat has been retaken. Yarr!
I have to write a 1-3 page long story-type fer Writing, Captain says so. It's a good thing I'm writin' it today, eh? Welcome to the Caribbean, luv!
Me Captain (translate= mother) may be taking me to the movies, where we may pilfur and otherwise plunder the place for some popcorn and watch Everyone's Hero.
Yo ho!
[speech=normal]
Too bad I don't have Polly and the Pirates, or I would so read it today. Becase Polly is like the awesomest pirate ever. Or at least in the top five. [/speech]
Since I likely won't be here for Dogwatch*, I'll leave you with a few hearty songs.
When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
My boy why not consider a more challenging career"
Hey ho ho
You'll cruise to foreign shores
And you'll keep your mind and body sound
By working out of doors
True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without
And when you're a professional pirate
That's what the job's about
Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise 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 us as members of a noble brotherhood
Hey ho ho
We're honorable men
And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten
On occasion there may be someone you have to execute
But when your a professional pirate
You don't have to wear a suit!
I could have been a surgeon
I like taking things apart
I could have been a lawyer
But I just had too much heart
I could have been in politics
Cause I've always been a big spender
And me...I could have been a contender
Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
I say we're victims of bad press it's all exaggerated
We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat
We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet
Hey ho ho
It's one for all for one
And we'll share and share alike with you and love you like a son
We're gentlemen of fotune and that's what we're proud to be
And when your a professional pirate
You'll be honest brave and free!
The soul of decency !
You'll be loyal and fair and on the square
And most importantly,
When you're a professional pirate
You're always in the best of company!
We are the pirates who don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you
We don't do anything!
Well, I've never been to Greenland,
And I've never been to Denver,
And I've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul!
And I've never been Moscow,
And I've never been to Tampa,
And I've never been Boston in the fall.
We are the pirates who don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you
We don't do anything!
And I've never hoist a mainstay,
And I've never swabbed the poopdeck,
And I've never veer to starboard 'cause I never sail at all.
And I've never walked the gangplank,
And I've never owned a parrot,
And I've never been to Boston in the fall!
We are the pirates who don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you
We don't do anything!
Well, I've never plucked a rooster,
And I'm not too good at ping pong,
And I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall.
And I've never kissed a chipmunk,
And I've never gotten head lice,
And I've never been to Boston in the fall!
Huh? What are you talkin' about? What's a rooster and mashed potatoes have to do with being a pirate?
Hey, that's right. We're supposed to sing about pirate-y things.
Oh!
And whose ever kissed a chipmunk? That's just nonsense! Why even bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?
I think you look like Cap'n Crunch.
Huh? No, I don't.
Do too.
Do not.
You're making me hungry.
That's it. You're walking the plank.
Says who?
Says the Cap'n, that's who.
Oh yeah? Aye aye, Cap'n Crunch! hehehehe
Argh!
Yipes!
And I've never licked a spark plug,
And I've never sniffed a stink bug,
And I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball.
And I've never bathed in yogurt,
And I don't look good in leggings-
You just don't get it.
And we've never been to Boston in the fall!
And a bottle of purely hypothetical rum! [/is underage]
[speech=normal] Did pirates have Dogwatch? Oh well. [/speech]
