Shiver me timbers!
Buccaneers chasin by Rogers.
Yo-ho-ho Swashbucklin.
Oceans rise and fall.
Calamitous end!
Or just an awaken nightmare?
Huntin the booty!
Seek ye Davy Jones' Locker?
For just a few Doubloons?
Or is it a wench?
Scurvy dog! Let her be free!
Stop! Or soon feed fish!
You be black spotted,
for kidnapin the bonny lass.
Me hearty, forfeit!
Scallywag, ye yield!
For hang 'im from the yardarm.
Savvy, me Matey?
Keep running ye scurvy dog!
Shark bait be ye man-O-War.
Thar squadron tailin you.
Ahoy, me hearty. Nay!
Arrr ‘Tis me great, grand ship!
And ‘tis me bonny lass!
Privateer be ye ruin.
Son of a Biscuit Eater!
Sweet trade yer end!
