The Pirate Emergency

Every pirate was the same We could not wait for climate change The seas would swallow all the land We'd cheer and raise our hooks and hands One day a girl boarded the ship A Swede heading to a summit She said you've got the whole thing wrong Who will you loot when everyone's gone? Hi! Ho! Whats happening on the high seas? Don't you know? It's a pirate emergency Though we are above the law We all stopped using plastic straws Straight from the keg we'd drink our rum Until one day we stumbled upon The great Atlantic garbage patch Even looked big with an eye patch Turns out that we misplaced the threat The patch was mostly fishing nets Hi! Ho! Whats happening on the high seas? Don't you know? It's a pirate emergency If we saw a fishing boat We'd try to board and slit their throats Protecting fish protects the sharks We want walking the plank to last Years went by with many dead Until one day my parrot said These fisherman are just a victim Of an economic system Hi! Ho! Whats happening on the high seas? Don't you know? It's a pirate emergency We stayed on land 'til anchors rust But politics just weren't for us It seemed now that all hope was lost But then we came across Oli Frost He said just do what you do best Knowing yourself's a treasure chest Just write a jaunty sea shanty To make your point seem less preachy Hi! Ho! Whats happening on the high seas? Don't you know? It's a pirate emergency
