Captain Dan And The Scurvy Crew - On The Account lyrics

(Cap D) We're out for recruits Who have an eye our for loot We need 80 strong men To to set sail in our troop In the port if you're short On the cash to go forth We've got just the answer If you'll hear it of course If yer inclined to rhyme Or live a life of crime Sign on the line Live in fame for all time Sail for 200 days Make a mountain of pay Let's sign you up matey, Let there be no delay On the account Yes we're on the account And we're comin' to your town To sign your name down, Adventure abounds. On the account Yes we're on the account We be pirates coming through To recruit you For the scurvy crew (Admirality) Admirality's back, on the beats for the fleet Here to rustle up some muscle for the British Elite You like meat? We've got all the salt beef you can eat Pirate rates can't compete, so please be taking a seat Can you use a map, mate? How far can you see? I CAN BENCH-PRESS A BOAT. Well that sounds good to me! Here's yer red coat, and your bucket of tea, Oh, son - you just enlisted in the Royal Marines! Next please... You Sir, with the porcelain eye: Will you serve your boy Nelson or are you scared to die? Is it cool to get high? We make them Dutchmen fly! Sign up another sailor and take up the cry: All you boys on the capstan, raising the chain Weigh up the anchor, and roll out the sails again, Fully staffed from the colonies to the Spanish main Cos we be giving them berths to any man with a brain! On the account Yes we're on the account And we're comin to your town To sign your name down, adventure abounds. On the account Yes we're on the account We be pirates coming through To recruit you For the scurvy crew (Cap D) Now it says right here That you're a tailor But you don't have no fears Of becoming a sailor Just because you have a dream that you can be on our team Doesn't mean you're mean Enough to be a sea dawg supreme What makes ye a pirate? Got dreams of a riot? Fought fiends all sizes? Sneak in towns under guises? Have ya got a parrot? If it bites me I swear it I'll put all his feathers In my hat then I'll wear it Yer application says that yer a surgeon But we've only got the tools For filletin' them sturgeons, Can ye saw a man's leg While you're sippin' on bourbon Or bring back a man Who's near d**h by submergin'? If you can fish out a snook? While ye got that there hook? I think we can add ye on board As our cook! How bout cooper makin' barrels Keep the gunpowder sterile Or a gunner makin' peril While we singin' this carol On the account Yes we're on the account And we're comin to your town To sign your name down, adventure abounds. On the account Yes we're on the account We be pirates coming through To recruit you For the scurvy crew [Repeats x2]
