With Cat-Like Tread, Upon Our Prey We Steal |
| Pirates: With Cat-Like Tread |
| Upon our prey we steal |
| In silence dread |
| Our cautious way we feel |
| No sound at all |
| We never speak a word |
| A fly’s foot-fall |
| Would be distinctly heard |
| Tarantara, Tarantara. |
| So stealthily the pirate creeps |
| While all the household soundly sleeps |
| Come friends, who plough the sea |
| Truce to navigation |
| Take another station |
| Let’s vary piracy |
| With a little burglary |
| Here’s your crowbar |
| And your centre bit |
| Your life preserver |
| You may want to hit |
| Your silent matches |
| Your dark lantern seize |
| Take your file |
| And your skeletonic keys |
| Tarantara, |
| With Cat like tread |
| Tarantara |
| In silence dread |
| Pirates |
| With Cat-Like Tread |
| Upon our prey we steal |
| In silence dread |
| Our cautious way we feel |
| No sound at all |
| We never speak a word |
| A fly’s foot-fall |
| Would be distinctly heard |
| Come friends, who plough the sea |
| Truce to navigation |
| Take another station |
| Let’s vary piracy |
| With a little burglary |
| With cat like tread |
| Upon our prey we steal |
| In silence dread |
| Our cautious way we feel |
