[VERSE 1 KAPTAIN SKURVY!!]
If ya ask me mother, she'll say, "Ah, he's not so bad"
But when I left the house, I took everything she had
I took 'er silver and 'er gold, and scoffed 'er weddin' band
I even took 'er aprons and 'er copper pots and pans

[Chorus!!!]

[KUTLASS & GREEN KROC]
Lyin ', lootin', stealin '

[KAPTAIN SKURVY]
Is the reason I'm a pirate!

[KUTLASS & GREEN KROC]
Ransackin ', pillagin'

[KAPTAIN SKURVY]
Don't knock it 'til you try it!

[KUTLASS & GREEN KROC]
Plundering and pilferin'

[KAPTAIN SKURVY]
Make up a healthy diet!
Arrh, look at me! I'm doin' the Booty Boogie!

[VERSE 2 KAPTAIN SKURVY!!!]
No treasure is too big; I'd scarf the peaks of Kilimanjaro
As well as raid the tomb; I'd steal the mummy from a pharaoh
I'd swipе the Crown Jewels, and Mеrlin's crystal ball
But the Crystal Coconut is the daddy of 'em all!
If you want a job with all the riches you can stand
And all o' the security of a great pension plan
Arrh! Then come aboard!

[ALL Chorus!!!!]
Lyin', lootin', stealin' is the reason we are pirates!
Ransackin', pillagin', don't knock it 'til you try it!
Plunderin' and pilferin' make up a healthy diet
Arrh, look at us! We're doin' the Booty Boogie!
Arrh, from sea to sea! We're doin' the Booty Boogie!
