working on a new pirate song

[captscurvy_nc]

So like most of my more creative written work, this one started out with a bottle of Jameson's that quickly turned into Irish car bombs until my quartermaster and I started changing the words to one of our favorite Drop Kick Murphy's songs "Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced". If you don't know the song it's basically a long list of pick up lines used in a bar to pick up women. This is what we have so far...

I lead a Pirate Gang,

were the most feared in the land,

were wanted in both England and France.

I sail through Beluga,

To drink in Tortuga,

With a line of lassies waiting for a chance.

So come on my pretty,

I'll make you feel witty.

These other wenches mean nothing to me.

Let's finish our rum and be gone for the night,

Cause I'm more than a handfull you'll see.

So Kiss me, I'm a Pirate

I'm drunk so I'll sing you this song.

Tonight I'll plunder,

Tomorrow I'll wonder,

Why is the Rum always gone?

Still haven't finished the other three verses yet but I'm working on it

[Iron Bess]

Hey sailor, new in town??

Nice start mate...

Shouldn't this be in the Sea Shanties forum?

[Kian McBrian]

Excellent so far!!!

Big DKM fan so i think you are right on track with the song thus far

Although the original is hilarious...here it is on youtube in case anyone wants to help scurvy but doesnt know the tune:

Here's what I got for the second verse:

I'm an ex privateer,

I sail without fear.

With degrees from both Harvard and Life.

The ladies can't get enough,

I'm a real wench's dream.

Last night me timber was shivered by your wife!

I invented the Jolly Roger,

I've got tons of Gold to squander,

on wine and women till I'm gone.

I'm the pick of the litter,

The wench's line up for me,

and I've never even had to pay.

Still working on changing a lot of the last part but I think this is coming out nicely. I didn't think about posting this in shanties first, sorry

[Iron Bess]

I didn't think about posting this in shanties first, sorry

Not to fret.... I'll get ya *Moveed* mate!

[captscurvy_nc]

I didn't think about posting this in shanties first, sorry

Not to fret.... I'll get ya *Moveed* mate!

Thanks, and here's the rough draft of the thrid verse

I'm a man of the night,

Ladies smile with delight,

for my body was chisled from stone

Let the rum flow free till I escort you home,

By closing time I'm never alone

I've got a ship in the harbour with a huge captain's cabin

that puts Casinova's house to shame

With ladies on me arms and plunder in the hold,

I'm the best of the best at this game

Chorus (repeat twice)

Ah who am I fooling,

I'm a pitiful sight,

no wench's delight.

And I'm definitly not chisled from stone.

I'm a thief and a liar,

with nothing women desire,

I'll probably die cold and alone.

But just give me a chance,

cause deep down inside,

I swear I've got a true heart of gold.

I'm a truly changed man,

With no thoughts of deviant plans,

So come on my pretty let me take you home

Chorus

That's it. Now I just have to finish the music changes.
