Long John: 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"
Pirates: Hey ho ho You'll cruise to foreign shores And you'll keep your mind and body sound By working out of doors
Long John: True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without
All: And when you're a professional pirate
Bad Polly: That's what the job's about
Long John: "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
Pirates: Hey ho ho We're honorable men And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten
Long John: On occasion there may be someone you have to execute
All: But when your a professional pirate
Morgan: You don't have to wear a suit..... what?
Mad Monty: I could have been a surgeon I like taking things apart
Bad Polly: I could have been a lawyer But I just had too much heart
Morgan: I could have been in politics Cause I've always been a big spender
Pirate: And me...I could have been a contender
Long John: 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...
All: 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 fotune 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
All: When you're a professional pirate You're always in the best of company
