PiPmas Carols

[Mission]

I was thinking about Shay's parody songs last year and...well, a bad pun just sprang up in the muddled mass that is my mind:

The Most Blunderbuss Time of the Year*

I did not come up with any lyrics for it or anything. That exercise is left to the reader.

*Sung to the tune of "We Wish You a Merry PiPmas natch.

[Silkie McDonough]

Lyrics? Sounds like a rum induced evening project.

[Captain McCool]

I love pirate carols! Written a couple myself, actually. None of them very good.

It's not a carol but I penned "How the Grinch Stole PiP-Mas" this morning, an ode to PiPs past for my crewe. Thanks Animal and Cyren for the fodder for this.

Nice DB, it could be a winner if you sing that on the plank...although you would never make it to the end, you would be tossed off long before. perhaps just the last verse :)

Thanks fellow pirates. Looks like the only support I get is of the athletic variety.

No prisoners, eh!

[D B Couper]

Well how about this one then...

(To the tune of Jingle Bells)

Argh! Argh! Argh!

Argh! Argh! Argh!

Pirates in Fort Taylor.

We'll drink some rum

and dance to song,

just like an old time sailor.

Argh! Argh! Argh!

Argh! Argh! Argh!

P. I. P. in Old Key West.

Sterling, Dog, and Fama too,

come down and meet the rest.

[D B Couper]

All right... last one ( since I'm the only one goofy enough to be doing this).

Pirate Nights

(to the tune of Silent Night)

Pirate nights, old fort nights,

rum and chowder, I smell gun powder.

Courtyard flags of skull and crossed bones,

cannons, swords, and no cell phones.

Friendships what we like the most,

Brethern of the coast.

[madPete]

All right... last one ( since I'm the only one goofy enough to be doing this).

OK - I'll join the goofy. Sung to Jingle bells...

Dashing to the Fort

in an open Model A

o'er the seas we go

gawking all the way

R R R

Parade on Duval street

drinking grog at night

what sport it is to chant and sing

a Pirate tale tonight

rrrrr...Pirate Bells, Stynky smells

Mission set a leg

Shay o' the keys is at the wheel

and Patrick got away

A day or two in port

just off a long sea sail

and soon miss Baudy Bee

had stung me with her flail

R R R

The monkey loud and drunk

joined squirrel between her breasts

then found me in my bunk

and emptied my sea chests

rrrrrr...Pirate tales, dinner snails

Stynky on the lamb

7 courses and some tales

and Cross was eating ham

[Diosa De Cancion]

DB & Pete - Fantastic! Love them both :)

[Mission]

R R R! Ha ha ha!

[madPete]

pox on you... ye had to get me started

to the tune of Deck the Halls:

Don we now our rogue apparel

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Troll the ancient English Channel

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Decks abound with loaded cannon

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Armed with cutlass, morals abandoned

Fa la la la la, la la la la

With voice and sword, we start the noise

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

They begin to hide the cabin boys

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Leap aboard and fight like demons

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Finish off the frightened seamen

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Find the wine, and all the garters

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Drink and pander, sin and barter

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Till confronted with your end

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Captured by his majesty's men

Fa la la la la, la la la la

And before ye start to hurling

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Ye should know it's Captain Sterling

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow me to yonder Gallows

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Where your name ne'er to be hallowed

Fa la la la la, la la la la
