Toothless grin
From a pirate of the sea
Boarding ships
Maritime thieves
Cutlass held between their teeth
Swing on ropes
A frightening sight to see
For law abiding sailors
Trading across the seven seas
A skull and cross bones flag
Represents a maritime disease
That’s punished by execution
Death being the final solution
Pirates fiercely brutal and mean
Not the stuff of fantasies
Dangerous lifestyle
Consigned to history
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The pirate life is now done.
