Captain Morgan |
Eight months out, nothing to show |
The crew’s morale at an all time low |
When we pulled in to Port Royal for repairs |
The Captain went ashore for news |
While we mended sails with the other crews |
And talked about our sad state of affairs |
The captain, he came bounding back |
He said «Boys, there’s no time to unpack |
'cause we’re about to join our pyrate fleet» |
This news should have been met with cheers |
But the crew was plagued with doubt and fears |
So the captain said without missing a beat: |
«Don't avoid it, don’t fear it |
Embrace your pyrate spirit |
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight» |
«For adventure and glory |
And an unforgettable story |
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!» |
«For Maracaibo we’ll set sail |
And there is no way we can fail |
We’ll have us a Navy of our own» |
Like Portobello long before |
We will sneak ourselves ashore |
And we’ll be rich before we come back home" |
This got some cheers but not a lot |
They knew the Cartagena plot |
And all the pyrates there that met their end |
«Yes» he says «there's risk involved |
But every problem can be solved |
And we’ll end up with more cash than we can spend» |
«Don't avoid it, don’t fear it |
Embrace your pyrate spirit |
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight» |
«For adventure and glory |
And an unforgettable story |
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!» |
At last the crew they all agreed |
As fear cannot win over greed |
And we got our ship all ready and primed |
We set the sails and sharpened swords |
We pulled the anchor and wound the cords |
There was no way that we would lose this time |
With that the whole crew was met |
Pledges made, and routes were set |
Henry Morgan said «Let not a thing go wrong!» |
And as the fleet was heading out |
You could hear our whole crew shout |
«Listen up ye scurvy dogs and sing along; |
«Don't avoid it, don’t fear it |
Embrace your pyrate spirit |
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight» |
«For adventure and glory |
And an unforgettable story |
We sail with Captain Morgan tonight!» |
