Lyrics:
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 Hey ho ho You'll cruise to foreign shores And you'll keep your mind and body sound By working out of doors True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without And when you're a professional pirate Bad Polly: That's what the job's about 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 Hey ho ho We're honorable men And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten On occasion there may be someone you have to execute But when your a professional pirate You don't have to wear a suit, what? I could have been a surgeon I like taking things apart I could have been a lawyer But I just had too much heart I could have been in politics 'Cause I've always been a big spender And me I could have been a contender 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 Long John's speech Hey ho ho It's one for all for one And we'll share and share alike with you and love you like a son We're gentlemen of fortune and that's what we're proud to be And when your 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 When you're a professional pirate You're always in the best of company
