The great day of the Pirate is coming, and ye want not to left behind with normal English. Learn the words of the pirates, and join me crew.
Pirate salutation: Avast Ye scurvy scum! (Salutation to another pirate, not to the Captain.)
Pirate answers their captain:
Talk about a landlubber (A person who can't constitute to live aboard a ship.)
Pirates of the Caribbean song
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even high-jack
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're rascals, scoundrels, villains, and knaves
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho |
Song for the Talk like a Pirate day
Most days are like all of the others
Go to work, come back home, watch TV
But brother if I had me druthers
I’d chuck it and head out to sea
For I dream of the skull and the crossbones
I dream of the great day to come
When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trade me computer for rum!
Arrrrr t’ me, yo ho yo ho
It’s talk like a pirate day
When laptops are benches God have us for wenches
And a sail ain’t a low price to pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed
We’ll abandon our cars for a ship full of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we’re sloshed. Yo ho.
