You Wanna Be a Pirate

from Pirates! The Musical by Miss Hayes

lyrics

(SOLO:) Can you coil a line? Can you lift a ton?
Can you live with worms and have a lot of fun?
Can you fool a mate and never feel his pain?
Can you laugh at a hurricane?

So, you wanna be a pirate? Yeah, you wanna be a pirate? Oo, oo oo!
Can you crawl down through a hatch? Do you look good in a patch?
'Cause that's a pirate!
So, you wanna be a pirate? A hooky, spooky, kooky pirate? Oo oo oo.
Can you stay up in a tow'r? Go a month without a show'r?
That's a pirate!

Can you swab a deck? Can you swing a sword?
Can you give a speech with a single word.
Hoist a sail? Can you dig a trench?
And can you stand the stench?

So, you wanna be a pirate? Yeah, you wanna be a pirate? Oo, oo oo!
Can you crawl down through a hatch? Do you look good in a patch?
'Cause that's a pirate!
So, you wanna be a pirate? A hooky, spooky, kooky pirate? Oo oo oo.
Can you stay up in a tow'r? Go a month without a show'r?
That's a pirate!

Can you do a dance on the quarterdeck? Can you sail in rocks and never wreck?
Can you pull an oar with the very best? Can you find a buried treasure chest?

So, you wanna be a pirate? Yeah, you wanna be a pirate? Oo, oo oo!
Can you crawl down through a hatch? Do you look good in a patch?
'Cause that's a pirate!
Do you wanna be a pirate? A hooky, spooky, kooky pirate? Oo oo oo.
Can you stay up in a tow'r? Go a month without a show'r?
That's a pirate!

But you wanna be a pirate? Sure you wanna be a pirate? Oo oo oo.
Can you crawl down through a hatch? Do you look good in a patch?
'Cause that's a pirate!
So, you wanna be a pirate? A hooky, spooky, kooky pirate? Oo oo oo.
Can you stay up in a tow'r? Go a month without a show'r?
Can you sleep without a bed? Or clean the deck instead?
Are you scared of Davy Jones? If you are, you're not alone!
That's a pirate! Avast! You scalawag! ARRRR!
