While some folks row way up to heaven
I'm gonna sing the pirate's gospel
I'm gonna sow these feet for dancin'
I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open
Yo ho yo ho yo ho ho
Yo ho yo ho ho
Yo ho ho
Sing the pirate's gospel
Add another flame to our forest
Where big-bellied whales keep us chanting
We're slapping firey thighs for tiny dancers
Weeping children creep until the morning
When the sun does seep into our fair flesh
And filthy fingernails will take us home
Yo ho yo ho yo ho ho
Yo ho yo ho ho
Yo ho ho
Sing the pirate's gospel
While some folks pray their path to Jesus
We're gonna sing the pirate's gospel
We're gonna sow our feet for dancing
We're gonna keep our eyes wide open
We're gonna sing the pirate's gospel
We're gonna chant the pirate's gospel
You'll find us clap the pirate's gospel
Yo ho yo ho yo ho ho
Yo ho yo ho yo ho ho
Sing the pirate's gospel
Sing the pirate's gospel
