Why Can't I Be a Pirate?
Why can't I be a pirate?
I'd sail the Seven Seas
With utter joy
Shout “Land ahoy!”
Then drop the anchor where I please
Why can't I be a pirate?
Unquestionably cool
Hunt treasure chests
North, south, east, west
Select my crew from friends at school
Why can't I be a pirate?
I'd never walk the plank
Spot me on board
Spyglass and sword
Gold coins stashed safely in my bank
Why can't I be a pirate?
I'd give it a real try
My dream career
A buccaneer
“Raise skull and crossbones to the sky!”
Why can't I be a pirate
And live a life afloat?
Cos there's a hitch
A tiny glitch...
I don't possess a ship or boat
