Captain Dan And The Scurvy Crew - Pirates' Code lyrics

(Cap D) part one, you can always drink rum if there's a time that we find that we be in a bind, there isn't any left for the good of our kind a retrenchment shall be voted and you'll have to drink whine rule two, you never screw some one in the crew in a game of dice for the gold they've accrued number three, You pirates always listen to me cause the captain makes it happen when your on the sea now four, if you ever bringin sallies from shores we'll maroon you on an island, ye can live with that who*e number five, it aint wise to devise any lies or keep secrets from the crew bout what you found on a prize rule six if yer blitz on the deck of the ship in the time of battle you'll be hit with a whip and remember when you're smokin put a cap up on that tokin in the hold with all the powder or your neck we be a chokin We livin in piracy it has to be A live and free democracy We rock the sea The code will be the road for me I'd die for you, would you die for me? We live by the code, we die by the code finding the gold and lining our holds we know we the brethren of the coast them buccaneers with the most raise a toast to yer brothers while ye speakin that oath (what?) (Cap D) The captain gets two to one pieces of 8 and one and three quarters for the ships 1st mate one and a half for cooks fillin our plates the same for the cooper who be makin them crates Doctors get equal fer saving our fates and the gunner and bos'n also taking those stakes musicians get commissions fer spittin hip hop rhymes while we trippin and renditions of missions that we winnin Each man aboard receives equal shares of the booty,the plunder, and the luxury wares and so each shall have an even say in affairs but if ye stealin from each other, then ye better beware moses law, when ye break the last straw 39 lashings got for flappin yer jaws from the from the site of the crew you'll have to withdraw Sea Dawg, the quarter master rippin ya raw (Sea Dawg) I be the quartermaster, crossin' me's a quick road to disaster If ye dare to take an unfair share and i'm made aware on the deck ye'll be placed and the captain's daughter you'll be sure to taste The number of lashings depends on offense, scars serve as reminders to have more sense I be cunning, keep this vessel up and running Oversee that the gunners are sober enough to be gunning When we capture a ship, I split up what we earn, i decide what we keep and decide what we burn I'm first off to battle! and last to return I'm the best at what I do, so watch and learn in charge of distribution, prize, powder, and execution If a matey acts up, I've got the solution from havin em swab decks to breakin their necks the quartermaster position is quite complex We livin in piracy it has to be A live and free democracy We rock the sea The code will be the road for me I'd die for you, would you die for me? We live by the code, we die by the code finding the gold and lining our holds we know we the brethren of the coast them buccaneers with the most raise a toast to yer brothers while ye speakin that oath (what?)
