Being a pirate is all fun and games,
'Til somebody loses an eye.
It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
You can't let your mates see you cry.
A dashing black patch will cover the hatch
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
Being a pirate is all fun and games
'Til somebody loses an eye!

Brett, you would have been amused by Nor leading this song at the annual Pirate Halloween Party at the Maine Maritime Museum. We even had spare parts for most of the other verses.

Cheerily,
