Lyrics:
I tell ye a tale, 'tis sad but true
Of seven old pirates on the S.S. Bucktoo
The finest of sailors, the nicest of ships
There's just one teensy problem we have to deal with
The pirates with aquaphobia!
We sail around the world, me mateys and me
As long as the journey doesn't involve any sea
When people see us sailing, they don't quite understand
Why we only sail our ships upon the land
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates with aquaphobia!
The days are dragging on and the sun is getting hotter
But no matter what we do, we're not getting in the water!
They say that there's no treasure here and that may be true
But we enjoy sailing through every drive-thru
(Do ye take gold doubloons?)
I don't want to sail upon the sea,
Land pirate life is the pirate life for me!
(x6)
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates (yo ho ho!)
We're the pirates with aquaphobia!
Yo ho!
