tim curry - a professional pirate lyrics

Loading...

[long john]
when i was just a lad looking for my true vocation
my father said “now son, this choice deserves deliberation
though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
my boy, why not consider a more challenging career?”

[pirates]
hey ho ho!
you’ll cruise to foreign sh0r-s
and you’ll keep your mind and body sound
by working out of doors

[long john]
true friendship and adventure are what we can’t live without,-

[pirates]
-and when you’re a professional pirate-

[polly]
-that’s what the job’s about

[long john]
(spoken)
upstage, lads. this is my only number

(sung)
now take sir francis drake, the spanish all despise him
but to the british, he’s a hero and they idolize him
it’s how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good
and i see us as members of a n0ble brotherhood

[pirates]
hey ho ho!
we’re honorable men
and before we lose our tempers we will
always count to ten

[long john]
on occasion, there may be someone you have to execute,-

[pirates]
and when you’re a professional pirate-

[clueless]
-you don’t have to wear a suit………what?

[monty]
i could have been a surgeon. i like taking things apart

[polly]
i could have been a lawyer but i just had too much heart

[clueless]
i could have been in politics ’cause i’ve always been a big spender

[black-eyed pea]
(spoken)
and me, i could’ve been a contender

[long john]
some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
i say we’re victims of bad press that’s all exaggerated
we never stab you in the back, we never lie or cheat
we’re just, in fact, the nicest guy you ever want to meet

(spoken)
tell the truth, lad. do you really think the captain and the squire are planning to share the treasure with the likes of us? can’t hear ya. no? and we being the rightful owners, flint’s own crew, who shed our blood getting it here. join us lad. donate your comp-ss to the treasure hunt and get a full share!

[long jong and pirates]
hey ho ho!
it’s one for all for one
and we’ll share and share alike with you
and love you like a son
we’re gentlemen of fortune and that’s what we’re bound to be
and when you’re a professional pirate-

[long john]
you’ll be honest, brave, and free!
the soul of decency!
you’ll be loyal and fair and on the square
but most importantly,-

[long jong and pirates]
-when you’re a professional pirate
you are always in the best of company!
