BEING A PIRATE
As sung by Highland Reign on "Laddio" (2008)

[Verses 1-4 and the chorus are nearly the same as those posted by GUEST above on 04-Jul-2003]

5. Bein' a pirate is all fun and games
Till somebody loses their head.
There's no need to floss, and the wife won't be cross
Over some little something you said.
No appointments to keep; you'll get plenty of sleep,
But you won't need a pillow in bed.
Bein' a pirate is all fun and games
Till somebody loses their head.

6. Bein' a pirate is all fun and games
Till somebody loses their thing.
Though he didn't choose it, he doesn't want to lose it,
And now when he uses it, it stings.
Well, he can sew it back on with a needle and thong,
But it just doesn't have the same spring.
Bein' a pirate is all fun and games
Till somebody loses their thing.
