Let's Be Pirates! Lyrics

Shave and get dressed and hope you're not late.
Spend half the day with people you hate.
Instead of staying in bed with the one that you love,
You're stuck at a job doing the bidding of
A boss who does not know your name but can fire at
will.

Saving up money, paying the bills.
If debt doesn't kill you, the intereste rate will.
I dream all day of an easier life
With the wind in my hair and the sun in my eyes,
Waking up late with my feet in the sand and my hand in
yours
On some southern French shore
Where we've pulled into port
So the captain can rest
While he charts a new course.

Let's be pirates!
Let's be outlaws!
I'm so tired of these undead-end day jobs.
Let's get married
Or just not bother.
If our friends can't then we shouldn't either.
We could head out
For adventure,
Quit our jobs and go sailing forever.
I'll be Blackbeard,
You be Bonnie and we'll both be pirates.

Maybe there's treasure we'll never find.
Chasing a spectre the rest of our lives.
We'll go sailing away on a Portugese ship.
You look so good with a sword on your hip.
Singing and dancing, a bottle of rum in the young
moonlight. So put your hand in mine
We can start a new life.
The crew is assembled.
They're leaving tonight.

Let's be pirates!
Let's be outlaws!
I'm so tired of these undead-end day jobs.
Let's get married
Or just not bother.
If our friends can't then we shouldn't either.
We could head out
For adventure,
Quit our jobs and go sailing forever.
I'll be Blackbeard,
You be Bonnie and we'll both be pirates.

And if they capture us,
What's the worst they can possibly do?
They can torture us
Or leave us in jail.
But is that really worse
Than the life that we're working on now?
Spending four decades trying to make
Enough money to just get away -
That's the life that they're selling but baby we don't
have to buy it.

Let's be pirates!
Let's be outlaws!
I'm so tired of these undead-end day jobs.
Let's get married
Or just not bother.
If our friends can't then we shouldn't either.
We could head out
For adventure,
Quit our jobs and go sailing forever.
I'll be Blackbeard,
You be Bonnie and we'll both be pirates.
You be Bonnie and we'll both be pirates.
You be Bonnie and we'll both be pirates.
