A couple years back I was into the idea of Lana Del Rey's album "Ultraviolence" as a pirate-themed album. My family joked about a version called "Ultrapirates."
|
||
|
||
Naturally I ended up writing some alternate lyrics. There's only two; I never got around to doing "Buccaneer Baby" (for "Brooklyn Baby"). Anyway, I figured I should put them online for posterity…

#### "Florida Cargo" (to the tune of "Florida Kilos")
|
||
|
||
White shine, royal sailor, doubloons,
|
||
Don't you see them gleam,
|
||
They're special, just for you.
|
||
White palms, black gun powder on the move,
|
||
Sailin' for a dream,
|
||
Stowin' diamonds in the hold.
|
||
|
||
I feel you, royal sailor, feel me,
|
||
Leavin' us is hard, joinin' us is free.
|
||
We fly false flag, fly false flag on each go,
|
||
But you already know that, you already know.
|
||
|
||
Come on down to Florida,
|
||
We got somethin' for ya.
|
||
We could steal the cargo
|
||
From the keys, sailor, arr yeah.
|
||
|
||
Guns in the summertime,
|
||
Don't get scurvy, eat a lime.
|
||
Prison isn't nothin' to us,
|
||
If ye'll be on our side.
|
||
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho,
|
||
And all the rope things
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho.
|
||
|
||
Gold on your ears in round hoops,
|
||
You'll like us royal sailor,
|
||
If you like lots of loot.
|
||
White shine, from the silver in your teeth,
|
||
Or wear it in your beard,
|
||
Or round your neck beneath.
|
||
|
||
Come on down to Florida,
|
||
We got somethin' for ya.
|
||
We could steal the cargo
|
||
From the keys, sailor, arr yeah.
|
||
|
||
Guns in the summertime,
|
||
Don't get scurvy, eat a lime.
|
||
Prison isn't nothin' to us,
|
||
If ye'll be on our side.
|
||
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho,
|
||
And all the rope things
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho.
|
||
|
||
We could dry dock in Port Royal,
|
||
Arr, drink the night away.
|
||
Parrots even drink in Port Royal,
|
||
Arr, that's what they all say.
|
||
|
||
(You believe us, don't you, sailor?)
|
||
|
||
Come on down to Florida,
|
||
We got somethin' for ya.
|
||
We could steal the cargo,
|
||
From the keys, sailor, arr yeah.
|
||
|
||
Guns in the summertime,
|
||
Don't get scurvy, eat a lime.
|
||
Prison isn't nothin' to us,
|
||
If ye'll be on our side.
|
||
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho,
|
||
All the Floridians say,
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho,
|
||
All the Colombians say,
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho,
|
||
And all my shipmates,
|
||
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho.
|
||
That's how we do it like.
|
||
|
||
Mm, arr, royal sailor,
|
||
White shine, royal sailor,
|
||
Gold teeth, royal sailor, yeah,
|
||
Drink the night away.

#### "The Other Schooner" (to the tune of "The Other Woman")
|
||
|
||
The other schooner has time to trim and furl her sails
|
||
The other schooner is perfect where her rival fails
|
||
And she's never seen with caulking in her hull anywhere
|
||
|
||
The other schooner is always filled with French doubloons
|
||
The other schooner has fresh taught rope for every boom
|
||
There are never rats that scatter everywhere
|
||
|
||
And when each sailor comes to call
|
||
He finds her waiting like a lonesome queen
|
||
'Cause to be by her side it's such a change from old routine
|
||
|
||
But the other schooner will always have you on the swab
|
||
The other schooner will never let you have some grog
|
||
And as the years go by the other schooner will bore you to the bone
|
||
The bone
|
||
The bone
|
