Adam the Ants - Jolly Roger lyrics

rate me

In days of old, when ships were bold

Just like the men who sailed them

And if they showed us dis-respect

We'd tie them up and flail them

Often men of low degree

And often men of steel

They make you walk the plank alone

Or haul you 'round the keel

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

It's your money that we want

And your money we shall have!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

It's your money that we want

And your money we shall have!

Of all the pirates on the seas

The worst of them was Blackbeard

So damnable a beast from Hell

He was the one they most feared

Any man who sailed with him

Was taking quite a chance

He'd hang them from the gallows

Just to see if they could dance ha,ha!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

It's your money that we want

And your money we shall have!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

It's your money that we want

And your money we shall have!
