The Gay Pirates

This water is too salty,

 For me to even drink.

 I'd rather walk the dreaded plank

 Than stay another week.

But it's you my love

 You're my land ahoy

And I'm sick of being beaten

 And whipped and lashed to death,

 I want one night with no gang-rape

 But I won't hold my breath.

But it's you my love

 You're my land ahoy

 Yeah, you're my boy

Yo-ho, Sebastian

 Let's go far away

 Somewhere where the captain won't be mad.

 Yo-ho, Sebastian

 I want to love you good

 We deserve much better than we've had.

They say they're gonna kill me

 If I look at you once more.

 Pissed in my hammock yesterday,

 So I'll sleep on the floor

I'd be under the sea,

 but you hold me above.

They put glass on my sandals,

 So my feet would bleed all day,

 And they forced me to wear them,

 Or they said they'd make you pay

I'd be under the sea,

 but you hold me above.

 'Cos you're the man I love

Yo-ho, Sebastian

 Let's go far away

 Somewhere where the captain won't be mad.

 Yo-ho, Sebastian

 I want to love you good

 We deserve much better than we've had.

The captain found out 'bout us,

 And ordered them to throw,

 Us both overboard tonight,

 Together we will go.

But I'm yours you know

 And I'll love you still in hell

I hope they didn't tie up,

 Your hands as tight as mine,

 I'll see you on the bed of this

 Blue ocean babe, sometime

But I'm yours you know

 And I'll love you still in hell

 Down we fell

 And i'm singing.

Yo-ho, Sebastian

 Let's go far away

 Somewhere where the captain won't be mad.

 Yo-ho, Sebastian

 I want to love you good

 We deserve much better than we've had.

Yo-ho, Sebastian

 Let's go far away

 Somewhere where the captain won't be mad.

 Yo-ho, Sebastian

 I want to love you good

 We deserve much better than we've had.

We deserve much better than we've had.
