Lyrics to the:
Pirate Song
Sing with those lovable pirates Haggis McMutton, Edward VanHelgen, and Cutthroat Bill in...
A Pirate I Was Meant To Be...
Guybrush: I've got to get that map back or we'll never find Blood Island.Thanks guys, you were a world of help back there. Bill: It was a rousing battle, Cap'n! Haggis: Aye, and it reminds me of a song... Haggis: We're a band of vicious pirates Edward: A-sailin' out to sea! Bill: When you hear our gentle singing... Haggis: YouŽll be sure to turn and flee! Guybrush: Oh, this is just ridiculous. Guybrush: Come on, men! We've got to recover that map! Bill: That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap! Bill: We're a club of tuneful rovers Haggis: We can sing in every clef! Edward: We can even hit the high notes! Haggis: It's just too bad we're tone deaf! A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE! TRIM THE SAILS AND ROAM THE SEA! Guybrush: Let's go defeat that evil pirate! Edward: We know he's sure to lose, 'cause we know where to fire at! Edward: We're thieving balladeers.
Haggis: A gang of cutthroat mugs. Bill: To fight us off ye don't need guns! Edward: Just really good ear-plugs! A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE! TRIM THE SAILS AND ROAM THE SEA! Guybrush: All right, crew, let's get to work! Haggis: Our vocation is a thing we love, a thing we'd never shirk. Haggis: We'll fight you in the harbor.
Bill: We'll battle you on land. Edward: But when you meet singing pirates... Guybrush: They'll be more than you can stand. Bill: Ooooh! That was a good one! Guybrush: No, it wasn't. Guybrush: No time for song! We've got to move! Bill: The battle will be long, but our courage we will prove! Bill: We're a pack a' scurvy sea-dogs. Haggis: Have we pity? Not a dram! Edward: We all eat roasted garlic... Haggis: ...then sing from the diaphragm! A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE! TRIM THE SAILS AND ROAM THE SEA! Guybrush: Less singing, more sailing. Edward: When we defeat our wicked foe, his ship he will be bailing! Bill: If ye try ta fight us... Haggis: ...you will get a nasty whackin'! Edward: If ya disrespect our singin'... Bill: ...we will feed ya to a kraken! A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE! TRIM THE SAILS AND ROAM THE SEA! Guybrush: I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming. Haggis: We're ready to set sail, though the cannons need a-
priming. Edward: We're troublesome corsairs! Bill: And we've come to steal your treasures! Haggis: We would shoot you on the downbeat... Edward: ...but we have to rest five measures. A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE! TRIM THE SAILS AND ROAM THE SEA!
Guybrush: Stop! Stop! Stop! Bill: The brass is what we'll polish and the deck is what we'll mop. Guybrush: You say you're nasty pirates... scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers? From what I've seen I tell you... you're not pirates! You're just slackers! A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE! TRIM THE SAILS AND ROAM THE SEA!
Guybrush: We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange. Haggis: And...! Haggis: ...um... Bill: Well... Edward: ...err... Bill: Door hinge? Edward: No, no... Bill: Guess the song's over, then. Haggis: Guess so. Edward: Okay, back to work. Guybrush: Well gee. I feel a little guilty, now.
