Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me begin with a hardy, ho ho
And a tale that nobody tells well
I've not come all the way from En-C-I-N-O
To be treated like sewage that smells
[Verse 2]
I'm certainly not that surprised
For this story is older than time
Me peg-legged pirating brethren and I
Are society's slog-ridden slime
[Verse 3]
We've all been cast out as scalawag rogues
With fire in our beards and our eyes
There's a side to us pirates that nobody knows
And it's soft as a baby's backside
[Verse 4]
Some of us just want adventures
The open sea wind in our earrings
Why are we constantly misunderstood?
Don't you know pirates have feelings?
[Verse 5]
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, can't deny this simple truth
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
People, too
Nice harmonies, mateys
[Verse 6]
Think of how hard we have had it (So hard)
Out on ships, there is not much to eat (Not much to eat)
And dentists hate pirate insurance (Yo-ho, no)
Which is why we've so many gold teeth (We've too many gold teeth)
[Verse 7]
Me laundry stays damp and me boots start to stink
And me fingernails, filthy and dirty
Me internet loads unbelievably slow
And me bedtime's around 7:30
[Verse 8]
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, can't deny this simple truth
We're poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates have it so much worse than you
[Verse 9]
We've got pirate parades, to which nobody comes
Captain Kidd hosts a marathon but nobody runs
Long John Silver invented the blooming onion
But you think he gets credit for that? No
[Verse 10]
Captain Bob Hook, no one knows his first name
And old Greenbeard's been driven completely insane
Hardly anyone celebrates our one holiday
(Arrr) Talk Like a Pirate Day
[Verse 11]
We are pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, can't deny this simple truth
(Can't deny that we're poor)
Pirates are people, too
[Verse 12]
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
Poor pirates, can't deny this simple truth
That pirates, P-O-O-Arrr
People too
Yo-ho, ha
