Hoist up the Jolly Roger!
In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day -

Jolly Roger - Adam and the Ants

In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed them
and if they showed us disrespect
we'd tie them up and flail them
often men of low degree
and often men of steel
who'd make you walk the plank alone
or haul you 'round the keel

hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
it's your money that we want
and your money we shall have!

of all the pirates on the seas
the worst of them was Blackbeard
so damnable a fiend from hell
he was the one they most feared
any man who sailed with him
was taking quite a chance
he'd hang them from the gallows
just to see if they could dance (ha! ha!)

hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
it's your money that we want
and your money we shall have!

hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
it's your money that we want
and your money we shall have!

16. I just figured it was cuz I was Irish
but I think it't really since I'm a big ham! I suspect your accent, being a guy and all, is more effective. Have you read Pirate Pete? That's an excellent book to display your talk like a pirate talents.

18. well that is probably the best one
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 01:08 PM by tigereye
but Pirate Pete is a nice low key one. ( for some reason my son does not want to hear Treasure Island, real or imagined, but is able to sit through all of the LOTR books and Harry Potter's read aloud. I have no idea why.) Kipling is on the list though. I loved those when I was a kid.

14. Is it Talk Like a Pirate Day again already?
It seems like we just celebrated it. The older I get, the holidays just keep getting closer and closer together.
