The Pirate Song |
| Chorus I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance |
| I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance |
| Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants |
| I want to sing and dance |
| (Captain) You want to sing and dance, heh! |
| You don’t like plundering, aye? |
| Well, shiver me timbers 'ow 'bout treasuring, huh? |
| Rubies, emeralds and pearls, |
| gold doubloons and British sovereigns. |
| Silver chalices encrusted with diamonds |
| and jewels, necklaces and bracelets of every shape and size, fit for the crown |
| heads of Europe, aye? |
| And all buried in a pirate’s chest and I just happen to |
| know where. |
| How about that me bloodthirsty buckos, heh? |
| Ha, ha, ha! |
| (Twit) I don’t like it… |
| (Captain) You don’t like it? |
| (Twit) I don’t like it and I don’t want it… |
| (Captain) He don’t want it |
| (Twit) And I won’t do it… I'm an artiste |
| (Captain) An artiste, well mister artiste, what do you want? |
| Chorus I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance |
| I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance |
| Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants |
| I want to sing and dance |
| (Captain) Now, listen hear! |
| This ain’t no floating Gilbert and Sullivan show, |
| you know for some little flittin' tinkerbell. |
| This here be a black-hearted |
| pirate ship and I would have you keel-hauled if you weren’t me own flesh and |
| blood you little twit! |
| So you don’t like plunderin' aye… |
| (Twit) I don’t like it… |
| (Captain) And you don’t want no treasurin' ah… |
| (Twit) I don’t want it… |
| (Captain) And you probably don’t want no groggin' and revelin' and wrenchin' |
| and rummin' either I suppose? |
| (Twit) Well, deep down… you want to know the truth? |
| It’s not me, |
| I don’t want it… |
| (Captain) Well, what do you want… as if I didn’t already bleein know? |
| (Twit) I want to sing and dance and… |
| (Captain) I know, I know… and wear your tight little shiny pants. |
| Huh! |
| Okay… |
| we’ll all sing and dance (pirates grumble)… I said we’ll all sing and dance |
| (pirates grumble)… Or you’ll walk the plank,…one — two — free |
| (Chorus in pirates' voices) |
| Chorus I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance |
| I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance |
| Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants |
| I want to sing and dance |
| (Over chorus, you hear the Captain and twit’s voice say) |
| (Twit) I like it… I like it |
| (Captain) I kinda like it me own self |
| (Twit) Thought you would |
| Sixteen men on a dead man’s chest… yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
| (Twit) I don’t like rum… |
| (Captain) You don’t like rum? |
| (Twit) Well no, actually… well, I might like a little Perrier |
| (Captain) A little Perrier? |
| (Twit) With a lime in it… |
| (Captain) A lime in it… He wants a lime in it… |
| (Twit) Well, do you have any Escargot? |
| (Captain) Escar. |
| what? |
| (Twit) What’s the soup today… |
| (Captain) Soup?! |
| (Twit) Might have a bit of a salad too… |
| (Captain) Well, how about a bleeding fingerbowl? |
| (Twit) Maybe a croissant… Is that right? |
| Those French make everything so hard! |
| Why didn’t they just call it a bun? |
| (fade out) |
