Gather weary travelers, I have a tale to tell. |
|
It might just save yourlives but only if you listen well. |
|
'Cause there before the breakers and just around the way, |
|
there's a sign that says, "Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!" |
|
Some say he's a guppy a kind threw in the sea. He ate so |
|
many sailors now he's bigger than a tree. His teeth are sharp |
|
as scissors his claws, they are like knives. And if you think |
|
he's ugly, wait 'til you see his insides! |
|
Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly |
|
don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up |
|
inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd |
|
better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast |
|
of Pirate's Bay!" |
|
Some say he's a serpent that came straight from hell to eat |
|
the souls of pirates and other ne'er-do-wells. Some they |
|
don't believe it as for me I've got a hunch. 'Cause they used |
|
to have some pirates here. But he ate them all for lunch. |
|
Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly |
|
don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up |
|
inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd |
|
better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast |
|
of Pirate's Bay!" |
|
Well, good ol' Captain Rhubarb, he came to Pirate's Bay. |
|
Seems his little Trobble had nearly got away. |
|
He reached into the water to grab it from the sand. There was |
|
a crunch and a scream! And now that scurvy Captain's got hooks |
|
on both his hands! |
|
Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly |
|
don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up |
|
inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd |
|
better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast |
|
of Pirate's Bay!" |
|
Well, Blackberry the Pirate, you know for what he's feared. |
|
It's mostly for the dark, imposing color of his beard. He saw |
|
the beast and now nobody's scared of him because, his beard |
|
turned white and all agree, he looks like Santa Claus. |
|
Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly |
|
don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up |
|
inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd |
|
better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast |
|
of Pirate's Bay!" |
|
Well, now Yulgar's inn is empty and there's only you and me. |
|
And if you care I'd like to share how this song came to be. |
|
So come a little closer if you really want to know. This very |
|
sad and woeful tale happened so long ago. |
|
Well, I was just a little boy when I went to Pirate's Bay and |
|
there I saw a creature that was very much dismayed. |
|
With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side, |
|
this mighty whale was in such pain, we both began to cry. |
|
I pushed and I shoved but he wouldn't give way into the |
|
deeper waters off our shallow Pirate's Bay. All I could do |
|
to help him was to keep people away, so I wrote a sign that |
|
said, "Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!" And what did it say? |
|
Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you |
|
swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of |
|
him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd better stay |
|
away. Heed the sign that says "Beware!. Hell I should know |
|
I put it there! |
|
Heed the sign that says, "Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!" |
