Pirates Medley Lyrics

[Everyone]
Yo ho, All together
Hoist the colors high!

Heave ho, Thieves and beggars
Never shall we die!

(Acapella Piece)
[Peter Hollens]
Yo-ho, yo-ho - A pirate's life for me

We pillage, we blunder
We ruffle, we loot
Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!

We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!

We kindle and char
We flame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!

We burn up the city
We're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!
[Gardiner Sisters]
Come all ye pretty fair Maids
Whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor boat
That plows the raging sea

My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor boat

[Everyone]
(Outro Acapella)

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
