Ten pirates were on a ship at sea.
Everyday at noon, nine sang so merrily,
'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
While the tenth banged on his drum.
Everynight at midnight they'd attack a different ship.
When they snuck up behind the captain, he always did a flip.
Sometimes the booty was a little silver, sometimes a little gold and then some.
Then nine pirates would sing
'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.'
While the tenth banged on his drum.
