Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I'll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King.
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
OLIVERETTES: You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
KING: And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
OLIVERETTES: It is!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
KING: When I sally forth to seek my prey
I help myself in a royal way.
I sink a few more ships, it's true,
Than a well-bred monarch ought to do;
But many a king on a first-class throne,
If he wants to call his crown his own,
Must manage somehow to get through
More dirty work than e'er I do,
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
OLIVERETTES: You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
KING: And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
OLIVERETTES: It is!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
And this here be our Queen, she of the fair, the good, and merciful....
Ain't she a pretty one?
And, of course, our King and Queen ain't always dashin' about the seas worryin' the scurvy lots. Sometimes, they dress up and just delight us. *grin*
The Dread King Thomas, and his Queen.....
With our apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan, whose wonderful song we have blatantly stolen from "The Pirates of Penzance". 'Tis a glorious play, and the song fit. The pictures are courtesy (at a only a couple of dubloons, I might add) Jeremy Ray Logsdon, and Julia. SO DON'T BE STEALIN' THE PICS -- STEALIN' FROM A PIRATE ISN'T A GOOD IDEA, YA KNOW! WE'LL HUNT YE SCURVY KNAVES DOWN AND MAKE YE WALK THE PLANK!!
Our King is, of course, Tommy Oliver! Long live the King!! Long Live the Queen!
