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

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 you're a professional pirate

You don't have to wear a suit

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
(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 compass to
the treasure hunt, and get a full share!)

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

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

When the course is laid and the anchor's weighed
A sailor's blood begins racing
With our hearts unbound and our flag unfurled
We're under way and off to see the world
Under way and off to see the world

Hey ho we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing

Manly men are we

Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea

Safely now, Mr Silver.
Let's not get sloppy just because we're singing

Danger walks the deck we say what the heck
We laugh at the perils we're facing

Every storm we ride is it's own reward

And people die by falling overboard

People die by falling overboard

Hey ho we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Hoist the sails and sing

Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing

I love to see 'em cry when they walk the plank

I prefer to cut a throat

I love to hang 'em high and watch their little
feet try to walk in the air while their faces turn blue

Just kidding! It's a good life on a boat

There are distant lands with burning sands
That call across the oceans

There are bingo games every fun-filled day

And Margaritas at the midnight buffet

Margaritas at the midnight buffet

Hey ho we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing

Should have took a train

Sailing for adventure on the bounding main

The salty breezes whisper
Who knows what lies ahead
I just know I was born to lead the life my father led

The stars will be our compass
Wherever we may roam
And our mates will always be
Just like a family
And though we may put into port the sea is always home

Alright, Mr. Bimbo!
I didn't know you had such a good singing voice.
You're welcome!

We'll chase our dreams standing on our own
Over the horizon to the great unknown

Hey ho we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Bold and brave and free
Sailing for adventure

It's so nauseating

Sailing for adventure

So exhilarating

Sailing for adventure

We're all celebrating

On the deep blue sea
