From the recording If You Want to be a Pirate
The title track from the new CD, written with my good friend Michael "Supe" Granda, AKA Silly Grandpa, of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Sing along! Or else!

If You Want to be a pirate
Climb on board we’ve been waiting for you
If You Want to be a pirate
Take me word It’s easy to do
Tie a scarf around your head, make a ship out of your bed
See the constellations on your ceiling
When you drift off to sleep, out across the oceans deep
Your dreams will have that pirate feeling
Get yourself a paper bag draw yourself a pirate flag
Hoist your Jolly Roger on a broom
Just cover up one eye through a cardboard tube you’ll spy
Ports of call all around your room
To be a pirate every day here’s a few things you things you can say
Say ARRRRR to everyone you know
Tell every girl and boy Hey Matey Ships Ahoy
Give them all a friendly Yo Ho Ho!
If You Want to be a pirate
Climb on board we’ve been waiting for you
If You Want to be a pirate
Take me word It’s easy to do
Now that you’ve become a pirate
Climb on board we’ve been waiting for you
Now that you’ve become a pirate
We’ll all sail across the ocean blue
We’ll all sail across the ocean blue
