Arrr.

lyrics

It's a weary old existence,
And the cold gets in yer bones,
Livin' under Jolly Roger
And over Davy Jones.
When the stormy winds o' Dayton
Are cuttin' through and through
It's nice ta know there's somethin'
Worth lookin' forward to.

It's a hard and lonely life out there
Upon the Seven Seas,
But it's easier with a mate to share
In all your miseries.
When everything looks blackest,
I need only hear her say,
"... Guess what?"
To brighten up me day!

And it's Hey me boys and it's Arrr me lasses,
Here's to our delight,
Workin' every mornin,
And cookin' every night,
Pour the grog and raise our glasses
While we're singin' of
Matt and Mindy,
In Piratical Love.

There ain't no wench that's fairer
And she brightens up the skies
With the auburn in her hair
And the green in her eyes.
She's handy with a deck o' cards,
wins every game she plays,
And sayin' that she knows the ropes
Ain't just a turn o' phrase.




And it's Hey me boys and it's Arrr me lasses,
Here's to our delight,
Workin' every mornin,
And cookin' every night,
Pour the grog and raise our glasses
While we're singin' of
Matt and Mindy,
In Piratical Love.

When we go to The Branding Iron
To get a bite to eat,
They bring a barrel o' Margueritas
And twenty pounds of meat.
We get the finest Mexican food,
We get tiramisu,
And when she wears them clothes from Vogue,
We get a heck of a view.

And it's Hey me boys and it's Arrr me lasses,
Here's to our delight,
Drinkin coffee' every mornin,
Laughin' every night,
Pour the grog and raise our glasses
While we're singin' of
Matt and Mindy,
In Piratical Love.

We sail through the thunder,
The lightning and the rain.
We pillage and we plunder
Across the Spanish Main.
Okay, we cruise 146,
But I don't feel put upon
When we cuddle on the sofa
While America's Test Kitchen's on.

And so we sail together,
Just my sweetheart and me
While she sings beautiful songs
For our posterity.
I know some days Inovene
Is where she needs to be,
But when I really need here,
I know where she will be.

And all you lads and lasses
Who sail the ocean blue,
I know your day is comin',
I know you'll get your due.
But keep your pearls and diamonds,
And keep your jewels and wealth.
My treasure is my Mindy,
So keep your hands to yourself.

And it's Hey me boys and it's Arrr me lasses,
Here's to our delight,
Goin' ta work' every mornin,
And cuddlin' every night,
Pour the grog and raise our glasses
While we're singin' of
Matt and Mindy,
In Piratical Love.
Matt and Mindy,
In Piratical Love.
