Drink Up, Me Hearties, Yo Ho

In case you were wondering what all those pirates are singing on "Pirates of the Caribbean," wonder no more!  Lyrics and a lyrical bracelet.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

 

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

 

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and inflame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city; we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

 

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
 

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

We like to wear bracelets with charms and with beads,

Bling up, me 'earties, yo ho,

We list all those baubles and bangles and such
As high priority needs!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. 

Okay.  I admit it.  The pirates don't sing that verse.
