THE PRANKSTERS AND THE PIRATE

CALYPSO/ CARIBBEAN SWING

TEMPO 162 KEY OF F#

Hey mister, that's a really big boat

Hey mister, how does that float

Hey mister, that's a really nice ship

Hey mister, can you take us on a trip

Well ahoy ye maties, I''ve no time fer ye laddies

I'm an ornery pirate, go on home to yer daddies

I got me a cargo of Spanish doubloon

And I got to get going before the typhoon, so move along now....

Hey mister, turn your head for a minute

That gives us time to climb on in it

You’ll squirl like a girl at the morning tide

‘Cause we opened your sails and stuck snails inside!

We taught your parrot new things to be said

So one day he'll call you a noodle head

We put glue on his feet so when he lands on your shoulder

He won't fly away until he's much older

Where are those pesky, varminty kids?

I can't believe all the things they did

Down in the hold they hid some cheese

And days at sea the smell would knock me to my knees

On me eye patch they put itching powder

And they poured sea water in me clam chowder

My parrot used to say "Pieces of eight"

But now when he talks I can't get a date

(Noodle head, Noodle head!)

AARGH! Come back here you little monsters

I'll take you for a ride now, you little beggars
