We're the jolly crewmen in Scabby's company
We take our swords below and we're drinking merrily
With one hand on the cutlass the other holds a cup
A pirate's life is peaceful 'til someone cuts you up
A pirate's life is peaceful 'til someone cuts you up
The Captain draws a cutlass and he makes us sing along
It doesn't take the crew long to memorize the song
'Cause if you miss a line or two that sword is gonna drop
A pirate's life is peaceful 'til someone cuts you up
A pirate's life is peaceful 'til someone cuts you up
The lure of bloody battle is an itch you shouldn't scratch
You could poke an eye out, and you'll have to wear a patch
And you could wink your one good eye and be thankful for your luck
A pirate's life is peaceful 'til someone cuts you up
A pirate's life is peaceful 'til someone cuts you up
A pirate's life is peaceful
Peaceful
Peaceful
Peaceful
'til someone cuts you up!
