mister pirate says "hi,
matey, kiss your girl goodbye
i'mma take 'er away
you better start yer pray"
mr pirate promises me
hidden treasures and adventures
he gets down on one knee
"you'll be happy," he assures
and as i come near
i see the pirate and not you
but well, lookie here
see beneath the goatie glue
out with the eye patch
wooden leg and the hook
when all is snatched
left a smile with a crook
beneath the cockatoo parrot
surely i will definitely say
that you are the pirate
who stole my heart away
