Lyrics
[Verse 1] I've sailed upon this cursed ship for nigh on fifteen years In service of the king's decree, a naval privateer I've paid my dues in flesh and blood, and great was the reward But this is not the life for me, a fact I can't ignore [Verse 2] The king commands I wear a hat with corners numbered three He says it is befitting of the rank bestowed on me And when I lost my arm at sea, he sent forth a demand That I should get a hook of steel where once I had a hand [Pre-Chorus 1] I told him he could stick that hook Right where the sun don't shine I stumbled to the nearest bar And got real drunk on wine [Chorus] Set sail, land ho Drink rum, let's go Over the oceans and over the seas Bite through the iron 'til flesh starts to bleed Set sail, land ho Drink rum, let's go Over the oceans and over the seas We're biting the hook hand that feeds We bite the hook that feeds [Verse 3] Last summer I was summoned for an audience with my liege But when he saw I came by horse, his highness was displeased "Where is your mighty pirate ship? Why aren't you drinking rum?" 'Twas at this point I finally snapped, and shot him with my gun [Pre-Chorus 2] I've had it with this stupid hat I hate the taste of rum I'm never going back to sea The pirate's life is dumb [Chorus] Set sail, land ho Drink rum, let's go Over the oceans and over the seas Bite through the iron 'til flesh starts to bleed Set sail, land ho Drink rum, let's go Over the oceans and over the seas We're biting the hook hand that feeds [Outro] Set sail, land ho Drink rum, let's go Over the oceans and over the seas Bite through the iron 'til flesh starts to bleed Set sail, land ho Drink rum, let's go Over the oceans and over the seas We're biting the hook hand that feeds
