All pirates they're all Rabi's
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Don't you make me sing
Of these taco people
'Cause they're all that make me mad
Detention song.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs.
Man, it's a day to die.
From the bottom they spit.
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
Oh Pirates kiss the Rabbi
Old pirates yes they rob I
Ol pirate's just a rabbi.
Old pirates yes they rob I.
Old Pirate is just a Rabbi
Sold out to a merchant ship.
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships.
Old pirate says the rabbi sold I to the merchant ship
Minutes before they took I into captivity.
Old pirates yes they rob I sold I to the merchant ship
Minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit.
Old pirates dressed as rabbis
Old pirates yes they rob I
I truly like the song.
Old pirates, yes, they're rabbis I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Old pirates, yes. they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships.
One Pirate kissed a Rabbi
Sold i to the man with whips
Ol' pirates yes they rob i,
Sold i to the merchant ships
The old pirates Jester-Rabbi.
Old Pirates, Yes they rob I.
