tankard – deposit pirates lyrics
sailing the alley, black scarf round my head
my old shopping-trolley heels close to the wind
limping the gutter on my wooden limb
smelling of whisky, rum, beer and gin
i hunt for treasures
wherever treasures may be found
don’t look for diamonds
there’s a greater prize just lying around
approaching the waste bin, my hook held up high
i’ll board this vessel if i live or die
to get all those bottles treasured within
the waste dump sounds with my battle-cry:
[chorus:]
deposit pirates at bay!
deliver your empties and pray!
fight for your flasks, fight for your cans –
deposit pirates at bay!
fight for your flasks, fight for your cans –
deliver your empties and pray!
kissing my brides at the kiosks around
i lift my eye-patch, twinkling steal their refunds
my jolly roger’s crossed bottles and jar
winds toss my black wig – i must go on
i hunt for treasures
wherever treasures may be found
don’t look for diamonds
there’s a greater prize just lying around
[chorus:]
deposit pirates at bay!
deliver your empties and pray!
fight for your flasks, fight for your cans –
deposit pirates at bay!
fight for your flasks, fight for your cans –
deliver your empties and pray!
the conquest is over, the sun’s hanging low
i sail with the tide: now i’ve got to go
my chauffeur picks me up in my limousine
i’m master, commander, fund-saver and mean
[chorus:]
deposit pirates at bay!
deliver your empties and pray!
fight for your flasks, fight for your cans –
deposit pirates at bay!
fight for your flasks, fight for your cans –
deliver your empties and pray!
