B F#
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an ear;
F#
It drips down your neck, and it falls on the deck.
B
Till someone shouts out, “Oy, what’s this ‘ere?”
B
You can’t wear your glasses, nor chat up the lasses,
B7 E
Your friends have to shout so you’ll hear;
B F# B
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses an ear.
Chorus
E B
But it’s all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
F# B
You can’t be a pirate, with all of your parts;
E B
It’s all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
F# B
You can’t be a pirate, with all of your parts.
B F#
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an eye;
It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
B
You can’t let your mates see you cry.
C# dashing black patch will cover the hatch,
B7 E
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
B F# B
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses an eye.
Chorus
B F#
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a hand;
It spurts and it squirts and it jolly well hurts,
B
Pain only a pirate could stand.
The fash’nable look is a nice metal hook,
B7 E
But now you can’t play in the band;
B F# B
Being a pirate is all fun and games,Till Somebody loses a hand.
Chorus
B F#
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a leg;
It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens,
B
Hopping around on a peg.
Ask your sweetheart to marry, too long you’ve tarried,
B7 E
‘Cause now you can’t kneel down and beg;
B F# B
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses a leg.
Chorus
B F#
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a head;
It falls with a thud and is covered in blood,
B
And your beard is all sticky and red.
You cant comb your hair, cos your heads over there,
B7 E
But besides that by now you’d be dead;
B
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
F# B
Till Somebody loses a head.
Chorus
E B
So all be aware - it hardly seems fair,
F# B
But you can’t be a pirate - if you are all there!
