Lyrics
We sail out down from sea to sea
Ronnie and Sonny and Woodleg and me,
Chummy chefs and debauchery,
Aye, ye might say this life is for me!
Now don't mind the ship following us
Aye, don't mind the ship that is trailing us
They be fans from uhh.. Hungary
They be no threat to me
Aye, that ship has an english flag
But they fly it ironically
They did not promise
To set me free,
If I delivered you
To them peacefully (what!?)
I'm sure your heads they will not chop,
I promise ye have nuttin' to fear,
Unrelated note, should we make a stop,
At that friendly island over there?
Aye ho! Aye ho!
No noose is coming, for me, no!
This is my own freedom song
Why aren't more of you singing along?
I only made that deal for me
None of you are walking free
It's why I gave you extra time
While you were bedding your wives
Why are you looking at me like that, mateys?
It's just a sea shanty! Arrr!
And once we're there
I'll grab some grub
While your necks
Will be stubs
While ye all are emotional wrecks,
Maybe I'll get me neck a rub
Aye ho! Aye ho!
No noose is coming, for me, no!
Ronny, you made some lovely food
I'll be sad to see ye go!
You’re lucky to fall for this one trick
Most betrayals don’t come with music
It sure is nice to have a heart that beats
This ship'll be lonely with empty seats!
It’s not backstabbing,
I was always in front!
Look, it’s not personal
It’s just the biz
And aye, I might’ve told 'em
Where our hideout is
I’ll send you postcards
From my comfy bed
I'll even paint a lovely heart-
Oh wait, you'll all be dead!
Woodleg, can I have your leg?
I can carve it out for my keg
And drink from it as I take a sip,
Wait, why is there a spanish ship?
(I did not make a deal with them!)
Ronnie, are you betraying us?
After everything I've done for ye,
I guess it's not a major loss
So lets throw Ronnie in the sea!
Wait, the rest of you were in on this?
Think about our cameraderie!
What part of pirate crew did ya miss?
I suppose I'll be fine if the english arrive here quickly!
(Hey!)
Aye ho! Aye ho!
No noose and hanging, for me, no!
Sonny, how could you do this to me!
Getting me to feel this low!
And Aye ho! Aye ho!
Don't bribe the english with me gold
That's the dubloons I was supposed to spend on me
While I was the only one walking free!
You're all a bunch of mutinous snakes!
I demand we sail back to Nassau to discuss this!
Hey, keep your hands off me!
I don't negotiate with traitors!
