E B
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an ear;
B
It drips down your neck, and it falls on the deck.
E
Till someone shouts out, “Oy, what’s this ‘ere?”
E
You can’t wear your glasses, nor chat up the lasses,
E7 A
Your friends have to shout so you’ll hear;
E B E
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses an ear.
Chorus
A E
But it’s all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
B E
You can’t be a pirate, with all of your parts;
A E
It’s all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
B E
You can’t be a pirate, with all of your parts.
E B
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an eye;
It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
E
You can’t let your mates see you cry.
F# dashing black patch will cover the hatch,
E7 A
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
E B E
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses an eye.
Chorus
E B
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a hand;
It spurts and it squirts and it jolly well hurts,
E
Pain only a pirate could stand.
The fash’nable look is a nice metal hook,
E7 A
But now you can’t play in the band;
E B E
Being a pirate is all fun and games,Till Somebody loses a hand.
Chorus
E B
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a leg;
It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens,
E
Hopping around on a peg.
Ask your sweetheart to marry, too long you’ve tarried,
E7 A
‘Cause now you can’t kneel down and beg;
E B E
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses a leg.
Chorus
E B
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a head;
It falls with a thud and is covered in blood,
E
And your beard is all sticky and red.
You cant comb your hair, cos your heads over there,
E7 A
But besides that by now you’d be dead;
E
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
B E
Till Somebody loses a head.
Chorus
A E
So all be aware - it hardly seems fair,
B E
But you can’t be a pirate - if you are all there!
