King. |
| Oh, better far to live and die Under the brave black flag I fly, Than play a sanctimonious part, With a pirate head and a pirate heart. Away to the cheating world go you, Where pirates all are well-to-do; But I’ll be true to the song I sing, And live and die a Pirate King. For I am a Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King! For I am a Pirate King! |

| Chorus. | |
| You are! Hurrah for our Pirate King! |

| King. | |
| And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King. |

| Chorus. | |
| It is! Hurrah for our Pirate King! |

| King & Chorus. | |
| Hurrah for the/our Pirate King! |
| King. |  1926 |
| When I sally forth to seek my prey I help myself in a royal way. I sink a few more ships, it’s true, Than a well-bred monarch ought to do; But many a king on a first-class throne, If he wants to call his crown his own, Must manage somehow to get through More dirty work than ever I do, For I am a Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King! For I am a Pirate King! |
