"It's all part of being a pirate (A pirate! A pirate!)"
Good timing--this fellow walked by just as we were doing The Pirate Song.

The Pirate Song
by Don Freed

   CH:    It's all part of being a pirate (A pirate! A pirate!)
   You can't be a pirate with all of your pa-aa-rts
   Oh, it's all part of being a pirate (A pirate! A pirate!)
   You can't be a pirate with all of your parts.

Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody loses an eye.
It hurts like the blazes and makes you make faces,
And you can't let your mates see you cry.
Life's so one dimensional, so unconventional, no bloody need to ask why.
Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody looses an eye.

Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody looses a hand.
It squirts and it spurts and it bloody well hurts,
Turns you blue I'll have you understand,
And it makes you feel cruddy the day that somebody gives you a brand new baby grand.
Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody looses a hand.

Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody looses a leg.
It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens
While hopping around on one leg.
So all of you prancers and flamenco dancers can bloody well go suck an egg
Being a pirate is all fun and games till somebody looses a leg.

It makes me so irate, it hardly seems fair
You can't be a pirate if you are all there.
