Here ya be lass, I 'ope this helps.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho

(A Pirate's Life for Me)

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Maraud and embezzle and even hijack.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We kindle and char, inflame and ignite.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

We burn up the city, we're really a fright.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We're rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs!

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Aye! But we're loved by our mommies and dads!

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Then there is the version for the lad who couldn't quite cut it as a pirate,

Bein' a pirate can be such fun,

Drink up me earties Yo Ho

Unless you are a seasick one,

Drink up me earties Yo Ho,

No mo yo ho, no pirate life for me.

Every time I go out to sea,

Drink up me earties yo ho

Me stomach churns, I'm weak at the knee,

Drink up me earties yo ho

No mo yo ho, no pirate life for me

I'm stayin' ashore, can't take no more,

Drink up me earties yo ho

The captain comes round, I'm lockin' the door,

Drink up me earties yo ho.

No mo yo ho, no pirate life for me.

:blink::blink::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.

I take it this is the opening violins first couple of measures?

I will buzz it thru my mid stack with my LP and see if I can get it right.., Wicked Wicked Grin !!!

I do not know. It is from my 7 year olds piano class. I just pillaged it from his this afternoon. I have yet to hear it. He tells it is the Yo Ho song from the ride.
