If you have the money to build a ship,
You could be a pirate,
And furnish it with professional thieves.
They could steal for you,
In your name, and fill your coffers
With baubles of blame, and trophies of shame,
And booty,
Lots of booty.

But if you don't already have the means
To build a ship, the next best way
To christen yourself as a pirate
Is to steal one yourself
And take to the seas,
And rescue a few lost sailors
Who will feel
Indebted to you.
Make them steal
For you.

And of course there are others ways.
These are just two,
If you want to
Be a pirate
And you want to have a crew,
And booty,
Lots of booty.
