Now sit right back and you’ll
hear a tale, A tale of a special trip That started from an urban port Aboard a sailing ship All filled with thoughts of swashbuckling And dreams of daring-do Two score costumers set sail that day For a 3-hour cruise. The stories started getting rough As sails and hist’ry crossed (And midst the glamour of the silver screen Bob Hope his cookies tossed ...) The ship sets sail from the shore of this World-famous Baghdad's Bay With costumers ... And spouses too, Their frockcoats and their plumes ... With movie stars Historians and jokester, too Here on our Pirate Sail! So here’s the story of our Pirate Sail: Pick swabs from any time All pirates, privateers and buccaneers Are welcome in our clime: The Crimson Pirate sails today Cap’n Blood close on his tail Ice Pirates search for the water world And dead men tell no tales. While Burt and Errol laugh and jest And Maureen knocks them cold, And sixteen men on a dead man’s chest Still tell of pyrate gold. Come join us there that day, friends, Please help us tell the tale Of two score plume’d costumers Out on a Pirate Sail! |

Little did she know the ways of pirates ...... |
