Health To The Company

- led by Jack Rackham

Here's a health to the Company,
And one to my lass;
Let us drink and be merry
All out of one glass.
Let us drink and be merry,
All grief to refrain,
For this Company
Might never all meet here again.

Blowed and Torn

- led by Jack Rackham

My sails are blowed and torn
Been lain down wet.
They need all the mending
That they can get.
No time to be attending
These winds alive today,
My sails are worn and weathered
And I'm bound to go my way.

The Wild Mountain Thyme

- Pyrates Royale

Well ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To the wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Well ye go, lassie go?

The Old Dun Cow

- Pyrates Royale

There was Browne
He was upside down
Lappin' up the whiskey on the floor.
"Booze! Booze!" the firemen cried
As they came a knockin' at the door.
Well don't let 'em in 'till its all drunk up!
Somebody shouted: McIntyre!!!
And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When the Old Dun Cow caught fire.

Drink A Rum

- Pyrates Royale

I drink a rum in the morning
I drink a rum at night
I drink a rum in the afternoon
It makes me feel all right
I drink a rum in times of peace
Two in times of war
I drink a rum, and then I drink a rum
And then I drink some more.

Wild Rover

- Michael Hooligan

And it's no, nay, never,
(Right up your kilt!)
no, nay, never, no more,
(Your kilt!)
will I play the wild rover,
(Kilt!)
no, never, no more.

Old MacDonald

- Jonathan Strum

*no, it really is
Old Macdond,

Reilly's Daughter

- Michael Hooligan

Giddy I ae,
giddy I ae,
giddy I ae for the one-eyed Reilly
Giddy I ae,

Play it on your old bass drum

Dough, Ray, Me

- Hack & Slash

Dough, the stuff that buys my beer
Ray, the guy that pours my beer (Thanks Ray!)
Me, the guy who drinks my beer
Far, a long way to the Privey
So, I’ll have another beer
La, I’ll have another beer
Tea, no thanks I’ll have a beer
And that brings us back to dough!

I Come For To Sing

- led by Jack Rackham

Some come to work,
While others, to play;
Some come in evening
To pass time away;
Some come to laugh,
their voices to ring
But as for me,
I come for to Sing.

The Boatman

- Pyrates Royale

I climb the mountains,
I scan the oceans
For you my boatman,
with fond devotion
When shall I see thee,
today, tomorrow>
Oh do not leave me in
pain and sorrow.

Auld Lang Syne

- Pyrates Royale

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup
Of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Drunken Sailor

- Pyrates Royale

What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Earl-ie in the morning
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Way-hay and up she rises
Earl-ie in the morning.

Loch Lomond

- Bedlam

O' ye'll take the high road
and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland
afore ye;
But me and my true love
will never meet again,
On the bonnie bonnie banks
o' Loch Lomond.

We Had Some Chickens

*various animal sounds

awe, what
hey hey hey hey!

Bugger Off

- Michael Hooligan

So bugger off, you bastards bugger off!

Like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off!
