lyrics

Beware the haunt of Blackbeard
It haunteth waves of death
And once you've been scarred, yer scarred for life, lad
So darn well hold yer breath
Cause it's a moonlight requisition
And you be careful where you move
But when yer riddled with disease and yer fresh outta booty
then we ain't got much to lose, get a grip now!

Swab the decks and hoist the sails, let's fire up the cannons
Plundering in the spirit of the fiddler's jig
Row the oars and hide the whores. let's batten down the hatches
Commandeering in the spirit of the Captain's wig

Beware the pipe of Blackbeard
It tooteth from the hearth
Its ghastly tones will cause a shiver
across this sea of mirth
But it's a moonlight requisition
And you'd better not kill the groove!
From the port, to the starboard,
gonna burn this goddamn ship right down!

Swab the decks and hoist the sails, let's fire up the cannons
Plundering in the spirit of the fiddler's jig
Row the oars and hide the whores. let's batten down the hatches
Commandeering in the spirit of the Captain's wig

Great music. The t-shirt didn't meet my expectation though :( The print is way smaller and abstract than showed here on the image. Gnseblmchen
