Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Oh, no, no! With pirates rife, the sea--
From villages on the beach, they launch their boats.
Bring out the Navy, let’s go!
They kidnap; they’re savage and go for the throats.
Bring down these wastrels, let’s go!

Oh, no, no! With pirates rife, the sea--
They extort, they pilfer when they attack.
Bring on the Navy to blow
Them outta the water when they try hijack.
Bring on the Navy to blow. . .

Blow, blow blow these pirates from the sea. .
Them to bits ’cause they say they want a fight.
Bring on the Navy to blow
Them all away and clear the seas of this blight.
Bring down these scabies, let’s go!
Litter the water with their skiffs’ staves.
Sink ’em to Davy--that’s Jones.
Let’s revel when we extirpate these dregs.
Sink ’em to Davy Jones’ home.

Oh, no, no! I spy it; oblige me:
“Extirpate,” anagram of “pirate,” ex “ext”;
Linguistic name game’s so-so.
Seas safe. . .sack scurvied scourge, scurrilous scabs--
Sink ’em to Davy below.

Well done Barry, having grown up 1/2 mile from Disneyland, this is my all-time favorite Disney tune. Loved the "scurvied scourge, scurrilous scabs"!

Very funny - Especially liked "Litter the water with their skiffs' staves" which is exactly what I think should be done
