A knife and a treasure chest Some great bird of the tropics Where the man became an island Well, well, the whale is beached The ship is stranded on the reef And the waters only recede It's a last resort
I don't want to steal But I'm happy having fun And dying young My piracy not confined to digital music Its more or less defined By blunderbuss and sea shanties As being an outlaw Or at last as being misunderstood
Walking the plank Jumping into shark infested waters Swimming with all my strength So I can die marooned and alone
Just me, my gold, and my guns And my *** And my contempt
