Soundtracks - Professional Pirate lyrics

Long John When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation My father said now son, this choice deserves deliberation Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier My boy why not consider a more challenging career Pirates Hey ho ho You'll cruise to foreign shores And you'll keep your mind and body sound By working out of doors Long John True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without Pirates and Long John And when you're a professional pirate Bad Polly That's what the job's about Long John (Upstage, lads! This is my ONLY number) Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him But to the British he's a hero and they idolize him It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood Pirates Hey ho ho We're honorable men And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten Long John On occasion there may be someone you have to execute Pirates and Long John But when you're a professional pirate Clueless Morgan You don't have to wear a suit Mad Monty I could have been a surgeon I like taking things apart Bad Polly I could have been a lawyer But I just had too much heart Clueless Morgan I could have been in politics Cause I've always been a big spender Brando Pirate And me...I could have been a contender Long John Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated I say we're victims of bad press it's all exaggerated We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet (Tell the truth, lad. Do you really think that Captain and the Squire are planning to share the treasure with the likes of us? And we being the rightful owners, who shed our blood getting it here. Join us, lad! Donate your compa** to the treasure hunt, and get a full share!) Pirates and Long John Hey ho ho It's one for all for one And we'll share and share alike with you and love you like a song We're gentlemen of fortune and that's what we're proud to be And when you're a professional pirate Long John You'll be honest, brave and free The soul of decency You'll be loyal and fair and on the square And most importantly Pirates and Long John When you're a professional pirate You're always in the best of company
