Pirates drink their grog from an old fruit… jaRRR!
Pirates in a fight often get a… scaRRR
Pirates like their feathers mixed with… taRRR!
Give me an RRR! Gotta give me an RRR!
These are words that start with the RRR sound and are part of a rhyme…

Why me blokes it must be RRR-ti-choke (artichoke)
Where is all the Pirate pinball played?
Why me Mates it’s in a Pirate RRR-cade (arcade)
Where are all the Pirate Ballerinas?

From the album Talk Like a Pirate
When you raise your hand “Hello” – you are making waves
With curtains rising on your show – you are making waves
When you’re splashing in the pool – you are making waves
And you’re acting really cool – you are making waves
Like the morning ocean waking – you are making waves
When your song sails ‘round the world – you are making waves
And your flag onstage unfurls – you are making waves
When your ship it carves the sea – you are making waves
In a scene that sets you free – you are making waves
Like the morning ocean waking – you are making waves
Waves are breaking – it’s breathtaking – you are making waves
When you bid them all “Good Night” – you are making waves
When your script reads “exit right” – you are making waves
Like the morning ocean waking – you are making… no mistaking… there’s no faking
You… are… making… waves

Me Aunties sang chanteys of treasure and dreams
From the top of the mast to the tip of a sword
Me Aunties sang chanteys of lore
Me Aunties sang chanteys of creatures and things
Me Aunties sang chanteys of fish who had wings
An old Scurvy Dog once rode a seahorse
Me Aunties sang chanteys of course
Me Aunties sang chanteys of Mermaids and shells
Me Aunties sang chanteys and songs of themselves
There was Dot, Susan, Jade, and sweet Isadore

They stayed by my side till I started to snore
Then Me Aunties sang chanteys no more

My sister is precious, a wonderful girl

She pines for pineapples and tangerines
Her favorite colors are yellow and blue
And Mother of Pearl is my mother too
CHORUS: Her name is Penelope
She helped develop me
Her love will always envelop me
My mother’s a sister, her sister is Jade
They’re fun in the sun and made in the shade

She is Persephone, toes in the sand
Oh my mother’s children, daughter and son
Love when she plays her accordion
She has a firm handle and a soft shoe
And Mother of Pearl is my mother too

My mother means more than silver and gold
She’s just too beautiful to behold
She’s a defender who’s tender and true
And Mother of Pearl is my mother too

A truly unruly uniform
Hey there Clancy, don’t get fancy

Muddy Waters, Rolling Stones… “love that Dirty Water”

9 times 4 is 36 – sailing ships in line – and 3 plus 6 is nine
9 times 5 is 45 – pirate flags a-flyin’ – and 4 plus 5 is nine

She’s not like all the others
She has such a unique feature
But the call her “freak of nature”
“Not nice”
CHORUS
Horses, zebras, donkeys, ponies
Make her feel so very lonely
She’s a horse of a different color
But they call her “dull and duller”
But she won’t let them roona (ruin ‘er)
She’d rather sail much soona (sooner)
On her pirate schoona (schooner)
To Algiers or to Altoona
“Oona, Oona, Oona, I fart glitter”
Parents, friends, coaches, teachers
Cheer for her from the bleachers
She is true and she is truthful
And they call her “BEAUTIFUL”

So, she mixed them up together
And got a purple hue
CHORUS
When she was a little girl
She wore her mother’s pearls
Now she wears those purple pearls
Around her neck around the world
CHORUS
On the beach she found a shell
With a tale or two to tell
If you listen carefully
You’ll hear the ocean rise and swell

From a wild Irish place
The Dark Lady (The Dark Lady) of Duna (of Duna)
Called Bald Headed Grace

You captured ships near shores, those ocean going galleys
You held onto Hen’s Castle with an iron fisted grip
You birthed a babe at sea named Toby of the Ships

Algerian Corsairs – you fought bravely, men did see
And against that man named Bingham, your English enemy
You met once with her Highness, your hatches they were battened
You spoke a common tongue, which happened to be Latin

Oh, we are MUM-A-YANG-O, Pirates of the Mayo
CHORUS
They have a secret code, a language all their own
‘H’ is HASH and ‘Y’ is YANG, and vowels are left alone
Consonants are doubled but with a ‘U’ between
It’s really not much trouble, if you know what I mean
They sail the SUS-E-A, their ship will rock and sway-o
So merrily they row, Pirates of the Mayo
CHORUS
But don’t ever call them sandwich spread
Or Matey YANG-O-U might end up… on the bread… ha ha

With a hey-ho Pirates we be
Haul up the anchor, we’re finally free
For fun and for sun – Pirates we be
Pirates, Pirates we be
We play on an island beneath a palm tree
With a hey-ho Pirates we be
We build a sand castle then take time for tea
Raise up you cup – Pirates we be
Pirates, Pirates we be
We search for the treasure, we look for the key
With a hey-ho Pirates we be
X marks the spot most excellently
Won’t hurt to dig dirt – Pirates we be
Pirates, Pirates we be
With eyes to the spyglass and what do we see
With a hey-ho Pirates we be
Ships off the starboard one, two, and three
By golly they’re jolly – Pirates we be
Pirates, Pirates we be
Pira-TUDE!
By Ronald Roy Carter aka RRR Carter © 2010 Ronald Roy Carter, RRR Carter, RRR Sea Music
From the album “Give Me an RRR!”
If you’re spreading Pirate cheer and grinning from ear to ear
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
If smiling day and night with a sailor’s delight
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
Pira-TUDE! Ha ha!
If you’re rowing merrily and feeling very care free
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
If you’re happy-go-lucky and all your rows are so ducky
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
Pira-TUDE! Ha ha!
If you’re flying Roger Jolly and you’re preening just like Polly
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
If you’re sending friendly signals and leaving room to wiggle
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
RRR! me mateys, RRR me hearties, damsels and dudes
RRR ye in possession of Pira-TUDE?
Pira-TUDE! Ha ha!
If you feel like LOL and your ocean’s really swell
You’ve got Pira-TUDE!
Pira-TUDE! Ha ha!
Polly Esther Pants
By Ronald Roy Carter aka RRR Carter © 2013 Ronald Roy Carter, RRR Carter, RRR Sea Music
From the album Pirate PaRRRty!
She repeats after me (“she repeats after me”)
My bird’s first name is Polly, a common parrot name
Her middle name is Esther, for that she can’t be blamed
Her last name it is Pants, a thread runs through this game
CHORUS: She’s Polly Esther Pants – that parrot likes to dance
She talks and squawks and then duck-walks, if given half a chance
She’s Polly Esther, Polly Esther Pants
I took my bird to dinner, she said put it on my bill
We climbed up in the crow’s nest, it gave her such a thrill
She says she wants to party like the birds in Brazil
CHORUS
Oh, by gosh, by golly, oh me, oh my, oh no
It’s Polly Wolly Doodle in a Jolly Roger show (“jolly good show”)
She’s Polly Esther Pants, Polly Esther, Polly Esther Pants
They’re birds of a feather, Polly and her friends
They’re preening on the scene those fashionista hens
On some days she wears diapers but I guess it just depends
CHORUS
She’s bird you can’t sequester
She is in her last semester
Polly Esther, Polly Esther Pants
“… thought I was a duck… walked around saying ‘Polly wanna quacker’”
Poop Deck Dance
By Ronald Roy Carter aka RRR Carter © 2021 Ronald Roy Carter, RRR Carter, RRR Sea Music
From the album Captains and Sea Monsters
CHORUS: Poop Deck Dance – dance – dance
Poop Deck Dance – dance – dance
Poop Deck Dance – dance – dance
You jump, you stoop, you go into a trance
A Poop, a Poop, a Poop Deck Dance
VERSE: Round up your Pirate Group
Like chickens in a coop
Then throw them for a loop
Like dunkin’ in a hoop
CHORUS
BRIDGE: The Poop Deck was the highest deck
On sailing ships of old
Near the back, Captain Jack
As sailors’ tales are told
”Beethoven’s Movement”
VERSE
CHORUS
