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.
