Give Me an RRR!

By RRR Carter © 2010 RRR Carter
From the album “Give Me an RRR!”

Give me an RRR! Give me a second RRR!
Give me a third non-traditional, unconditional,
Unmitigated, unregulated, tax-free RRR!
RRR you ready?!

What’s a Pirate’s favorite letter in the alphabet? RRR!
What does a Pirate say instead of a compliment? RRR!
How does a Pirate greet the Captain or First Mate? RRR!
What do Pirates say when they’re running late? RRR!

Give me an RRR! Gotta give me an RRR!

These are words that end with the RRR sound…

Pirates navigate by the North… StaRRR!
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…

What’s a Pirate’s favorite vegetable joke?
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?
Why me Hearties they’re in RRR-gen-tina (Argentina)
Where do all the Pirates like to scuba?
Why me Land Lubbers its’ down in RRR-ruba (Aruba)

Give me an RRR! Gotta give me an RRR!

MaRRRvelous!

EXTRA STANZAS:
What Pirate Pet rode on Noah’s Ark – why me sharks it was an RRRd-vark (Ardvark)
Where are a Pirate’s land locked Ma and Pa – why me outlaws they’re in RRR-kansas (Arkansas)
What’s a Pirate’s favorite Scottish style – why me swabs it’s socks of RRR-gyle (Argyle)
What does a Pirate wear to impress his lass so bonny – why me looters it’s a suit of RRR-mani (Armani)

I lub me Land Lubber – she is so lub-ly
She won’t deny it – I’m her Pirate
Me Land Lubber lubs me

She lubs the land, she lubs the shrubs
And every single tree
She lubs the sticks, three, four, five, six
And the Seven Seas

I lub me Land Lubber – she is so lub-ly
She won’t deny it – I’m her Pirate

She lubs the birds, she lubs the bugs
And a belfry full of bats
Herds of animals, reptiles, mammals
Scurvy Dogs and Cats

I lub me Land Lubber – she is so lub-ly
She won’t deny it – I’m her Pirate
Me Land Lubber lubs me

She lubs the sky, she lubs the sun
The moon in all its phases
She lubs the stars near and far
And she sings their praises

Twinkling little stars like the notes on the guitars

I lub me Land Lubber – she is so lub-ly
She won’t deny it – I’m her Pirate
Me Land Lubber lubs me

She lubs the land, she lubs the shrubs
And every single tree
She lubs the sticks, three, four, five, six
And the Seven Seas

Magical Mermaid Parade

By RRR Carter © 2013 RRR Carter
From the album Pirate PaRRRty!

It’s a Magical Mermaid Parade
A Magical Mermaid Parade
They splash and they play, afloat on the spray
A sun-shiny day, it has been displayed
A Magical Mermaid Parade

Oh, they glide and they slide
They ride on the tide
Inside of a fantasy (Sea of Fantasy)

In a Magical Mermaid Parade
A Magical Mermaid Parade
They swim and they sway upon Moonlight Bay
A starfish bouquet, it has been arrayed
A Magical Mermaid Parade

Then ships with sails seek holy grails
They make for far off fairy tales
They look for love that never fails

Mariam, Megan, Melinda, Monique
Martha, Marcella Mabel, Marie
And musn’t forget Ethel Mermaid

A Magical Mermaid Parade
A Magical Mermaid Parade

Half-human, half-fish, they might grant your wish
Half-human, half-fish, they might grant your wish

A Magical Mermaid Parade
A Magical Mermaid Parade
A Magical Mermaid Parade

Making Waves

By RRR Carter ©2019 RRR Carter
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

By RRR Carter © 2013 RRR Carter
From the album Pirate PaRRRty!

Me Aunties sang chanteys and sea-farin’ songs
Me Aunties sang chanteys all the day long
From north of Cape Cod to the southernmost shore
Me Aunties sang chanteys of yore

Me Aunties sang chanteys of Pirates and Queens
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
Me Aunties sang chanteys all four

Me Aunties sang chanteys and songs of the Deep
Me Aunties sang chanteys and rocked me to sleep
They stayed by my side till I started to snore
Then Me Aunties sang chanteys no more

Mother of Pearl

By RRR Carter © 2013 RRR Carter
From the album Pirate PaRRRty!

My sister is precious, a wonderful girl
My sister’s a gem, so she was named Pearl
And my sister’s mother, she knows what to do
And Mother of Pearl is my mother too

She unlocks the music with accordion keys
She pines for pineapples and tangerines
Her favorite colors are yellow and blue
And Mother of Pearl is my mother too

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
And my mother’s mother is really quite grand
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

Her name is Penelope
She helped develop me
Her love will always envelop me

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

Mother of Pearl (Penelope the Fruity Pirate)

From the album The Flying Pirate Circus

Mud Puddle, Mud Puddle, Mud Puddle, MUD
Mud Puddle, Mud Puddle, Mud Puddle, MUD

Mud Puddle Pirates – Mud Puddle Sea
Mud Puddle Pirates – oo-la-wee
Mud Puddle Pirates – meant to be
Mud Puddle Pirates – you and me

Such a soggy, dirty doggie
Buddy, you’re muddy like me
Get in a huddle beside a puddle
Up the middle with a fiddle-ee-dee

Mud Puddle Pirates – Mud Puddle Sea
Mud Puddle Pirates – oo-la-wee
Mud Puddle Pirates – meant to be
Mud Puddle Pirates – you and me

Rubbin’ rain and dirt on your grubby shirt
A truly unruly uniform
Hey there Clancy, don’t get fancy
Dance in your pants that’re torn

Mud Puddle Pirates – Mud Puddle Sea
Mud Puddle Pirates – oo-la-wee
Mud Puddle Pirates – meant to be
Mud Puddle Pirates – you and me

A stick is a ship, a leaf is a sail
A pebble is a shark and a rock is a whale
And twigs are Pirates in this twisted tale

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

Such a soggy, dirty doggie
Buddy, you’re muddy like me
Get in a huddle beside a puddle
Up the middle with a fiddle-ee-dee

Mud Puddle Pirates – Mud Puddle Sea
Mud Puddle Pirates – oo-la-wee
Mud Puddle Pirates – meant to be
Mud Puddle Pirates – you and me

Nine Lives Of Lucky

By RRR Carter © RRR Carter 2019
From the album Talk Like A Pirate

CHORUS:
The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat
The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat

The first life is for laughing and having lots of fun
The second is for learning about the moon and sun
The third life is for searching for your own reasons
The fourth is for exploring the glory of the seasons

The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat
The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat

The fifth life is for finding all five of your senses
The sixth is selecting past and present tenses
The seventh is for sharing with everyone around
The eighth is for enjoying the octaves making sound

The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat
The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat

The ninth life is for seeing and being who you are

9 times 2 is 18 – 18 mates of mine – and 1 plus 8 is nine
9 times 3 is 27 – serpents intertwined – 2 plus 7 is nine
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
This game can go on and on, for a long, long time, with the number that is 9

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9!

The Nine Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat
Fe-line Lives of Lucky
Lucky the Buccaneer Cat
And what do you think about that?

The Ocean moans

By RRR Carter © 2013 RRR Carter
From the album Pirate PaRRRty!

A Whale sings and croons
In tune with a Fiddler Crab
The Ocean moans
Chewing stones into sand

Seagulls dine
At the Fine Seafood Restaurant
The Ocean moans
Chewing stones into sand

Swordfish fight
They are Knights of Poseidon
The Ocean moans
Chewing stones into sand

Seashell Carriage
For the Marriage of Starfish
The Ocean moans
Chewing stones into sand

Oona Uni-hook

Lyrics by RRR Carter/April Tuck, Music by RRR Carter © 2016 RRR Carter
From the album The Flying Pirate Circus

Oona, Oona, Oona, Oona, Oona Uni-hook
A pirate unicorn from a storybook
With a hook on her head and love in her look
Oona, Oona, Oona Uni-hook

Classmates, cousins, sisters, brothers
She’s not like all the others
She has such a unique feature
But they call her “freak of nature”

“Not nice”

Oona, Oona, Oona, Oona, Oona Uni-hook
A pirate unicorn from a storybook
With a hook on her head and love in her look
Oona, Oona, Oona Uni-hook

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”

Oona, Oona, Oona, Oona, Oona Uni-hook
A pirate unicorn from a storybook
With a hook on her head and love in her look
Oona, Oona, Oona Uni-hook

Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess

By RRR Carter © 2010 RRR Carter
From the album “Give Me an RRR!”

Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
(I’m) She’s as happy as can be
Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
Won’t you sail the seas with me

Her favorite color was red, or was it blue?
I guess she couldn’t choose
So she mixed them up together
And got a purple hue

Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
(I’m) She’s as happy as can be
Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
Won’t you sail the seas with me

When she was a little girl
She wore her mother’s pearls
Now she wears those purple pearls
Around her neck around the world

Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
(I’m) She’s as happy as can be
Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
Won’t you sail the seas with me

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

Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
(I’m) She’s as happy as can be
Pearl the Purple Pirate Princess
Won’t you sail the seas with me

INTRO:
Blue-green scales and a floppy tail
Head like a coconut, body like a whale
The ocean called, so Peggy set sail

FIRST VERSE:
Three Legged Pirate Dinosaur
Almost tipped the ship when she stepped on board (Peggy)

From A to Z like the Azores
Peg-leg-osaurus

BRIDGE:
With Tyrannosaurus RRR swabbin’ the decks
Pterodac-Trill in the Crow’s Nest
Bronto-Snorts – neck in neck
To see who can see the sea the best

Three Legged Pirate Dinosaur
Roars like a swarm in a thunderstorm (Peggy)
Loud as a crowd – a Heavy Metal Chorus
Peg-leg-osaurus

With Tyrannosaurus RRR swabbin’ the decks
Pterodac-Trill in the Crow’s Nest
Bronto-Snorts – neck in neck
To see who can see the sea the best

Blue-green scales and a floppy tail
Head like a coconut, body like a whale
The ocean called, so Peggy set sail

Three Legged Pirate Dinosaur
Almost tipped the ship when she stepped on board (Peggy)
Poundin’ around like a hammer of Thor’s

Pirates and Privateers

By RRR Carter © 2010 RRR Carter
From the album “Give Me an RRR!”

Oh Pirates and Privateers and scurvy Buccaneers
If you want to know their names, lend me your ears

Blackbeard was a Pirate
Filled with dark desire
He mixed his grog with gunpowder
And lit his beard on… FIRE!

Oh Pirates and Privateers and scurvy Buccaneers
If you want to know their names, lend me your ears

Sir Francis Drake was a Privateer
To Spain and in between
He had a Letter of the Marque
From his English… QUEEN!

Oh Pirates and Privateers and scurvy Buccaneers
If you want to know their names, lend me your ears

Captain Henry Morgan
Was a Buccaneer and then some
Once famous for his brutal raids
But now known for his… RUM!

Oh Pirates and Privateers and scurvy Buccaneers
If you want to know their names, lend me your ears

Anne Bonny was a Pirate Woman
As brave as anyone
So swift with a sword
And handy with a gun

She said to Jack Rackham
With words meant to flog
“If you’d fought like a man
You’d not be treated like a… DOG!”

Oh Pirates and Privateers and scurvy Buccaneers
If you want to know their names, lend me your ears

Pirate Grace O’Malley

by RRR Carter © 2019 RRR Carter
From the album Talk Like A Pirate

You were born in 1530, or sometime thereabouts
Somewhere on Clare Island, the world first heard your shouts

You protected sheep and cattle from a hundred hungry eagles
Even as a young girl, you acted very regal

CHORUS
Pirate Queen and Sea Raider from a wild Irish place
The Dark Lady of Duna, called Bald Headed Grace

You sailed with Da from Clew Bay, he was Black Oak O’Malley
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

Pirate Queen and Sea Raider from a wild Irish place
The Dark Lady of Duna, called Bald Headed Grace

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

Pirate Queen and Sea Raider from a wild Irish place
The Dark Lady of Duna, called Bald Headed Grace

Oh, what is myth and what is missed when all the tales they are tallied
The history and mystery of Pirate Grace O’Malley

You don’t know what to do (who knew?)

Flip yer frown upside down
Set a better course
Flip yer ship around
Climb back on that horse (seahorse!)

BRIDGE:
You were super duper
And really quite a trooper
But now you’re just a Pirate…
A Pirate Party Pooper

Pirate Party Pooper
Pirate Party Pooper
Pirate Party Pooper

Let me help you out
I’ll throw you a line

Pirates of the Mayo

By RRR Carter © 2013 RRR Carter
From the album Pirate PaRRRty!

YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, the Mayo Pirate motto
YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, sung with some vibrato
But they’re not talking trash YO, just YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O

Aye, they’re Irish Pirates much like Grace O’Malley
Except that they are friendly and they dilly-dally
They like to eat, they love to drink, and sleep the day away-o
They’re on their SUS-HASH-I-PUP, Pirates of the Mayo

YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, the Mayo Pirate motto
YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, sung with some vibrato
But they’re not talking trash YO, just YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O

It’s MUM-A-TUT-E-YANG, you’re in this gangplank gang
With BUB-O-O-TUT-YANG, bingo, bongo, bang
They rhyme like ancient mariners, they yell and sing and say-o
Oh, we are MUM-A-YANG-O, Pirates of the Mayo

YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, the Mayo Pirate motto
YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, sung with some vibrato
But they’re not talking trash YO, just YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O

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

YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, the Mayo Pirate motto
YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O, sung with some vibrato
But they’re not talking trash YO, just YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O

They’re Pirates of the Mayo
But don’t ever call them sandwich spread
Or Matey YANG-O-U might end up… on the bread… ha ha

YANG-O, HASH-O, HASH-O!

Pirates We Be

Trad. music, lyrics by RRR Carter © 2016 RRR Carter
From the album The Flying Pirate Circus

I will now share a chantey of Pirates at sea
With a hey-ho Pirates we be
Captain O’Malley, the Matey, and me
With you and the crew – Pirates we be
Pirates, Pirates we be

We climb in the rigging, we jump in the sea
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 RRR Carter © 2010 RRR Carter
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!

Polly Esther Pants

By RRR Carter © 2016 RRR Carter
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

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

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

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

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
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’ “
