Shiver My Timbers lyrics

Pirates:

Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul

Yo ho, heave ho

There are men whose hearts are as black as coal

Yo ho, heave ho

Inkspots:

And they sailed their ship 'cross the ocean blue

A blood-thirsty captain and a cut-throat crew

Alligator:

It was dark a tale as was ever was told

Of the lust for treasure

And the love of gold!

Pirates:

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides

Yo ho, heave ho

There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides

Yo ho, heave ho

Possums:

And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum

Sal Minella:

The devil himself would have to call them scum

Crabs:

Every man aboard would have killed his mate

For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight

Alligator:

A piece of eight

Octopus:

A piece of eight

Mosquitos:

A-five, six, seven, eight!

Stone Faces:

Woona wacka woona wacka, something not right

Many wicked icky things gonna happen tonight

Woona wacka woona wacka, sailor man beware!

Crabs:

When de money in the ground, dere's murder in de air

Totems:

Murder in the air

Stone Face:

One more time now!

Pirates:

Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones

Yo ho, heave ho

There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones

Yo ho heave ho

Snakes:

When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed

There's no turning back from any course that's laid

Skulls:

And when greed and villainy sail the sea

You can bet your boots, there'll be treachery!

Pirates:

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails

Dead men tell no tales!
