G D
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an ear;
D
It drips down your neck, and it falls on the deck.
G
Till someone shouts out, “Oy, what’s this ‘ere?”
G
You can’t wear your glasses, nor chat up the lasses,
G7 C
Your friends have to shout so you’ll hear;
G D G
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses an ear.
Chorus
C G
But it’s all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
D G
You can’t be a pirate, with all of your parts;
C G
It’s all part, of being a pirate (a pirate)
D G
You can’t be a pirate, with all of your parts.
G D
Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an eye;
It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
G
You can’t let your mates see you cry.
A dashing black patch will cover the hatch,
G7 C
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
G D G
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses an eye.
Chorus
G D
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a hand;
It spurts and it squirts and it jolly well hurts,
G
Pain only a pirate could stand.
The fash’nable look is a nice metal hook,
G7 C
But now you can’t play in the band;
G D G
Being a pirate is all fun and games,Till Somebody loses a hand.
Chorus
G D
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a leg;
It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens,
G
Hopping around on a peg.
Ask your sweetheart to marry, too long you’ve tarried,
G7 C
‘Cause now you can’t kneel down and beg;
G D G
Being a pirate is all fun and games, till somebody loses a leg.
Chorus
G D
Being a pirate is all fun and games, Till somebody loses a head;
It falls with a thud and is covered in blood,
G
And your beard is all sticky and red.
You cant comb your hair, cos your heads over there,
G7 C
But besides that by now you’d be dead;
G
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
D G
Till Somebody loses a head.
Chorus
C G
So all be aware - it hardly seems fair,
D G
But you can’t be a pirate - if you are all there!
