David Wise - The pirate king lyrics

Oh, better far to live and die Under the brave black flag I fly Than play a sanctimonious part With a pirate head and a pirate heart Away to the cheating world go you Where pirates all are well-to-do; But I'll be true to the song I sing And live and die a Pirate King For I am a Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King! For I am a Pirate King! You are! Hurrah for our Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King It is! Hurrah for our Pirate King! Hurrah for the/our Pirate King! When I sally forth to seek my prey I help myself in a royal way I sink a few more ships, it's true Than a well-bred monarch ought to do; But many a king on a first-cla** throne If he wants to call his crown his own Must manage somehow to get through More dirty work than ever I do For I am a Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King! For I am a Pirate King! You are! Hurrah for the Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King It is! Hurrah for our Pirate King! Hurrah for the/our Pirate King!
