I used to sing this song at school back in the 50s.It begins,UP WITH THE JOLLY ROGER BOYS AND FLING IT TO THE BREEZE,GET BRIM AND CUTLASS WELL AND TRIM FOR A TREASURE SHIP TO SEIZE,I think, brim,was a reference to the gunpowder to be used.unfortunately i have forgotten all the lyrics.Sorry about that.
