Pirate's Scorn lyrics

Arr, when I was a young lad, my father said to me

"Arr, lend an ear, learn some pirate history

Once a fearsome pirate ruled the seven seas

He was your great-great-great-grand-pappy, Quint Skurvy"

He told me tall tales of his ill-begotten gains

But the greatest treasure of them all still haunts me to this day

I'll make you swab the deck and then I'll throw you in the brig

I swear I'll make you walk the plank to right the wrong you did

The day you mess with Skurvy, arr, you'll wish you're never born

When the coconut is mine, then you'll feel this pirate's scorn

He hid it in an idol where it stayed for many years

But the eye of Inka Dinka Doo did shed the crystal tear

It lay upon the ground until, much to my surprise

A stupid ape just wandered by and snatched my treasured prize

He discovered it possessed extraordinary power

And stealing it from Skurvy would be his darkest hour

I'll make you swab the deck and then I'll throw you in the brig

I swear I'll make you walk the plank to right the wrong you did

The day you mess with Skurvy, arr, you'll wish you're never born

When the coconut is mine, then you'll feel this pirate's scorn

Ya-ha-ha-harr!

Alright then, crew

Let's show these filthy landlubbers what we're made of

Are ya ready?

Let 'er rip!

I'll make you swab the deck and then I'll throw you in the brig

I swear I'll make you walk the plank to right the wrong you did

The day you mess with Skurvy, arr, you'll wish you're never born

When the coconut is mine, then you'll feel this pirate's scorn

When the coconut is mine, then you'll feel this pirate's scorn

Arr!
