david rovics - pirates of somalia lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
let me tell you the story of a hundred ships traversing the great big sea
moving the riches of the world in large ships owned by the captains of industry
they were heading to places like amsterdam, london and la
but they had to change their plans a bit when they were held up on the way

[chorus]
here’s to the pirates of somalia
sailing the ocean blue
here’s to the pirates of somalia
i’ll raise a jolly roger to you

[verse 2]
harardhere is a town of fisherman
living lives of hardship and toil
but today they had a really good catch
2 million barrels of oil
they travel with the pirate’s handbook
doing what’s just and fair
taxing the robber barons and taking their rightful share

[chorus]
here’s to the pirates of somalia
sailing the ocean blue
here’s to the pirates of somalia
i’ll raise a jolly roger to you
[verse 3]
well there are those who don’t like pirates
but i think they’re just great
i only wish that i could shake their hands
and say “good job, mate”
i only wish that i could join them on the seas
keep those tankers at bay
tax the corporations and give the loot away

[chorus]
here’s to the pirates of somalia
sailing the ocean blue
here’s to the pirates of somalia
i’ll raise a jolly roger to you
here’s to the pirates of somalia
sailing the ocean blue
here’s to the pirates of somalia
i’ll raise a jolly roger to you
