Is it because I'm a pirate?
Now I've done a string of horrible things
Like murdering, pillaging and theft
I've looted the junks in the Straits of Malacca
Put Spanish explorers to d**h
But prejudice would be the ugliest thing
For a waitress so lovely to feel
Is it because I'm a pirate
You seem to have cancelled our date?
And is it because I'm a pirate
That now it's a quarter to eight?
Your prejudice turns you against me
But I am prepared to wait
"I like your eyepatch!" Who said that?
I took in your waist then your face
Floating above me, pouring out tea
In some Nakameguro place
And though it was rude to the girl I was with
I asked if you'd go for a date
And then when you said you'd be happy to meet
I dreamed of your breasts and your face
Is it because I'm a pirate
You seem to have cancelled our date?
Your prejudice turned you against me
And now it's a quarter past eight
A stereotype would be ugly
For someone so lovely to propagate
Of course I am wanted by customs officials
Of course I'm an international fugitive
When not slitting throats of the people in boats
I am kind and surprisingly sensitive
Set your mind free, as I know you can
One day you may see me as just another man
Is it because I'm a pirate
I seem to be stood up again?
And is it because I'm a pirate
It's already quarter to ten?
Life is too short, I am too great
For a waitress so lovely to hate
But I am prepared to wait
