Gather weary travelers I have a tale to tell It might just save your lives But only if you listen well Cause there before the breakers And just around the way There's a sign that says \"Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!\" Some say he's a guppy A kid threw in the sea He ate so many sailors now He's bigger than a tree His teeth are sharp as scissors His claws, they are like knives And if you think he's ugly Wait till you see his insides
Chorus: Oh, don't you sail and don't you row And certainly don't you swim Cause if you aren't careful You'll end up inside of him He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out You'd better stay away Heed the sign that says beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay
Some say he's a serpent That came straight from hell To eat the souls of pirates And other ne'er-do-wells Some they don't believe it As for me I got a hunch Cause they used to have some pirates here But he ate them all for lunch
Chorus
Well, Captain Hook, you've heard of him He came to Pirate's Bay It seems his little nemesis Had nearly got away He reached into the water To grab at Peter Pan There was a crunch and a scream And now that scurvy pirate's Got hooks on both his hands
Chorus
Well, Blackbeard the pirate You know for what he's feared It's mostly for the dark imposing Color of his beard He saw the beast and now Nobody's scared of him because His beard turned white and all agree He looks like Santa Claus
Chorus
Well now the tavern's empty And there's only you and me And if you care, I'd like to share How this song came to be So come a little closer If you really want to know This very sad and woeful tale Happened so long ago
Well I was just a little boy When I went to Pirate's Bay And there I saw a creature That was very much dismayed With a harpoon in his dorsal fin And hook stuck in his side This mighty whale was in such pain We both began to cry I pushed and I shoved But he wouldn't give way Into the deeper waters off Our shallow Pirate's Bay All I could do to help him Was to keep people away So I wrote a sign that said beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay
And what did it say?
Oh, don't you sail and don't you row And certainly don't you swim Cause if you aren't careful You'll end up inside of him He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out You'd better stay away Heed the sign that says beware Hell, I should know, I put it there! Heed the sign that says beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay
