Jolly Rogers I Wanna Be Lyrics

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

Lived on the land lived by the shore dad stuck around
till he got bored

Looked to the sky, looked to the sea, shouted to the
waves, now can't you see

I'm just a lad, I'm all alone my mother's gone, and
I've got no home

I'll grab my gear and head to town so the whole damn
wharf can hear my sound

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

Looked about for a seaside bar and didn't have to look
to far

Went right in and the press gang grinned, so I stepped
right up and said count me in

The foreman said well bless my soul, I've never seen
one so bold

Said have a drink and grab your gear we sail with the
tide so hit the pier

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

Now we saw her clear all fat and slow, laden full and
sitting low

With a Spanish flag her tale was told, she's bound for
home with western gold

We'll take her down and strip her bones, we'll send her
crew to Davey Jones

So man your guns boys man them well and on my mark
we'll unleash hell

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

We took her hard we took her gold, we used her prize to
fill our hold We turned south to Montigo Bay, with a final shot we
were on our way

We laughed and sang and broke rum out, but we froze
with the lookout's shout

Two Spanish ships both men-of-war, lying in wait
between us and shore

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

Their cannons blazed and the mast was gone, we knew it
would not be long

They stormed the ship and sabers flew, but we rallied
back cause we all knew

The fight went on though we were lost, we got our gold
but at what cost

I saw him there, I pulled my blade the Spaniard smiled
and so I said

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

I saw the thrust and felt the pain, I saw my life begin
to wan

With a final blow I struck his head, but I knew that
soon we'd both be dead

We lay there upon the deck as I thought about my own
doomed trek

I heard a voice from next to me sing in Spanish now
can't you see that

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

You listen hard, you listen well there are so many
tales to tell

Beyond the sea, beyond the waves, you'll hear them all
beyond the graves sing

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.

I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be, I wanna
be I wanna be, I wanna be a Pirate too.
