Pirates Code Lyrics

(Cap D)

part one, you can always drink rum

if there's a time that we find

that we be in a bind,

there isn't any left

for the good of our kind

a retrenchment shall be voted

and you'll have to drink whine

rule two, you never screw some one in the crew

in a game of dice for the gold they've accrued

number three, You pirates always listen to me

cause the captain makes it happen when your on the sea

now four, if you ever bringin sallies from shores

we'll maroon you on an island, ye can live with that

whore

number five, it aint wise to devise any lies

or keep secrets from the crew

bout what you found on a prize

rule six if yer blitz on the deck of the ship

in the time of battle you'll be hit with a whip

and remember when you're smokin

put a cap up on that tokin

in the hold with all the powder

or your neck we be a chokin



(Chorus)

We livin in piracy it has to be

A live and free democracy

We rock the sea

The code will be the road for me

I'd die for you, would you die for me?

We live by the code, we die by the code

finding the gold and lining our holds we know

we the brethren of the coast

them buccaneers with the most

raise a toast to yer brothers

while ye speakin that oath (what?)



(Cap D)

The captain gets two to one pieces of 8

and one and three quarters for the ships 1st mate

one and a half for cooks fillin our plates

the same for the cooper who be makin them crates

Doctors get equal fer saving our fates

and the gunner and bos'n also taking those stakes

musicians get commissions fer spittin

hip hop rhymes while we trippin

and renditions of missions that we winnin

Each man aboard receives equal shares

of the booty,the plunder, and the luxury wares

and so each shall have an even say in affairs

but if ye stealin from each other,

then ye better beware

moses law,

when ye break the last straw

39 lashings got for flappin yer jaws

from the from the site of the crew

you'll have to withdraw

Sea Dawg, the quarter master rippin ya raw

(Sea Dawg)

I be the quartermaster, crossin' me's a quick road to

disaster

If ye dare to take an unfair share and i'm made aware

on the deck ye'll be placed

and the captain's daughter you'll be sure to taste

The number of lashings depends on offense,

scars serve as reminders to have more sense

I be cunning, keep this vessel up and running

Oversee that the gunners are sober enough to be gunning

When we capture a ship, I split up what we earn, i

decide what we keep and decide what we burn

I'm first off to battle! and last to return

I'm the best at what I do, so watch and learn

in charge of distribution, prize, powder, and execution

If a matey acts up, I've got the solution

from havin em swab decks to breakin their necks

the quartermaster position is quite complex
