| I was born beside a big blue bay
|
| Grew up on the Gulf of Mexico
|
| Dreamed of the islands with Papa Hemingway
|
| And ol' Errol Flynn was my hero
|
| All I ever wanted was to find you, girl
|
| Make love upon the seven seas
|
| But if we never made it around the world
|
| Key West would be all right with me
|
| Pirates and poets and me you see
|
| Are one of a kind
|
| Searching for a treasure like you
|
| And finding the perfect rhyme
|
| Pirates and poets and me believe
|
| In love only when it’s true
|
| And the buccaneer and Shakespeare inside of me
|
| Believe that we’re in love with you
|
| Pirates have their silver swords
|
| They can steal your heart away
|
| Poets have their golden words
|
| They can win you with what they say
|
| Never knew I had any hero in me
|
| Never found much worth fighting for
|
| Never knew the beauty of poetry
|
| But I’d never loved you before
|
| Pirates and poets and me you see
|
| Are one of a kind
|
| Searching for a treasure like you
|
| And finding the perfect rhyme
|
| Pirates and poets and me believe
|
| In love only when it’s true
|
| And the buccaneer and Shakespeare inside of me
|
| Believe that we’re in love with you
|
| Pirates and poets and me you see
|
| Are one of a kind
|
| Searching for a treasure like you
|
| And finding the perfect rhyme
|
| Pirates and poets and me believe
|
| In love only when it’s true
|
| And the buccaneer and Shakespeare inside of me
|
| Believe that we’re in love with you |
