Oh his name is a word
People fear and despise
He's known for his brutality and his lies
And his gold and grog's all that's valued by he
His head's wanted on land
But he's always a pirate at sea
He can deal with a blade
He can cut you or bleed you
You can grovel and beg
But he'll pummel and beat you
And he'll take all your treasures in spite of your pleas
He steals like a thief
And he's always a pirate at sea
Oh he takes care of himself
When Royal Navy are near
His ship slips through the fog
Oh and he never gives out
And he never gives in
He just guzzles his grog
He's got an eyepatch a
Hook, a peg-leg, a parrot
He's got a barrel of grog
But he aint gonna share it
He'll take all the gold
From your pockets and teeth
Better stay on the shore
Cause he's always a pirate at sea
Oh he takes care of himself
When Royal Navy are near
His ship slips through the fog
Oh and he never gives out
And he never gives in
He just guzzles his grog
While he's happily juiced
His crew's horribly dry
Jewels and gold fill the ships hold
Oh the grog it could by
With dark glances and grumbles
His crew cried mutiny
And he'll walk on the plank
For the grog that he drank
Yeah he's always a pirate at sea

Funky Monkey
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
Funky Monkey |
How 'bout a banana? |
Wait… Wait a minute |
Ocean motion, crashin' caution, ships dips tips |
As we sail the turbulant sea |
Stomach stops churnin', with a pail o' dramamine |
Yell sailor man, sailor man hands |
Hands on deck, hands help the helmsman and |
I sing and groove as the sea men move |
Every poem's relay'n what the brave men do |
I'm your lore man and your troubadour |
Singing my thing, out in the evermore |
Booty seeker, livin' adventure |
Snap map, dig that treasure |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Ooop… |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Funky Monkey |
Read the sea chart, freed from black heart |
Pirate papers lead us and speed our start |
Sea skiff lands on, isle of the simian |
Destination vegitation confrontation |
Up down, grind the ground, seek the X |
Where buccaneer's gold is bound to be found |
Tangly trees, humid heat, soggy feet |
They keep the beat and speed with the need |
Back to the map in the pack that I'm wearing |
The way I use the clues keep the beat on our bearings |
A machete swingin' singin' bringin' branches down |
Cuttin' a trail to the trove renouned |
Many bitey bugs buzz our ears as we go |
In an infinate swarm of kamakazi mosquitos |
Here we go, off I take ya |
Slap gnat, dig that treasure |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Ooop… |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Funky Monkey |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
Funky Monkey |
Head to the end, jungle temple, and then |
Tune the tempo up before we begin |
Tricky tippy trap attack brings a boulder down |
Rollin' bowlin' bold men back with a thundering sound |
They dodge the darts, I play my part |
Framing fearless lyrics cheering spirit and heart |
Quibble riddle gristle as I ponder temple puzzle |
But no lyrics or locks can defy my razzle dazzle |
Next to the X, feel the flow that I flex |
Get on the go, go get the chest |
Priceless prize by any measure |
Trip trap, dig that treasure |
Now |
What's that? |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Ooop… |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Funky Monkey |
What's that? |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Ooop… |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Funky Monkey |
Hear the gate drop, fearful heart flop |
Footfalls down the hall, coming near, so don't stop |
Drums a beating, feet a fleeting |
Take ya to the chamber of the monkey meeting |
Gibbons growlin', howlers howlin' and yowlin' |
Rhesus and orangutauns pacing and prowlin' |
And what do I see past the chimpanzee's |
But King Kong's uncle starin', glarin' at me |
So ya all know I'm the pro with the stanza |
The way I play my verse'n, I'm a ballad bonanza |
Pretty poem freely flowin', growin' into the sound |
Monkeys ah'd and oogled as they gathered around |
Many primates danced in wild wonder that day |
But when they saw the chest we made our get away |
Hang on to that chest I mentioned |
Git quick, with that treasure |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Funky Monkey |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Ooop… |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
How 'bout a banana? |
Funky Monkey |
Skip time, slip vines, zip line, in time, escape the apes that chase |
As we race through the jungle we flee |
Bracken a crackin' comes gorilla posse |
Feet beat the path, beat the path fast |
Best you keep fast past the great marsh grass |
I go right through the big bamboo |
With my verbal machete to our rendevous |
Feet fly, load the skiff by high tide |
Rowing that boat, burning off the cellulite |
Speed it up, 'fore that ape gets ya |
Zip trip, dig that treasure |
Ooop… Ooop… Ooop… |
What's that? |
Ooop… |
How 'bout a banana? |
Funky Monkey |
Dig it. Dig it up |
What's that? |
Dig it. Dig it up |
Funky Monkey |

Sea Food Again
Spent three days stranded on this lonely stand | ||||||||
of rock and sand at sea | ||||||||
My sunburned skin is peeling painful | ||||||||
But that's not what's eating me | ||||||||
Oh, I've seen fruit and I've seen grain | ||||||||
I remember gravy boats and sausage chains | ||||||||
I've seen burdened banquet tables bending with the strain | ||||||||
And I always thought that I'd see food again | ||||||||
My beaten ship was stormy tossed | ||||||||
And sunk beneath the waves | ||||||||
Though everything aboard was lost | ||||||||
Alone my life was saved | ||||||||
Oh I miss fruit and I miss grain | ||||||||
I miss those yummy gravy boats and sausage chains | ||||||||
I'd even eat my vegetables and never once complain | ||||||||
If I only got to see food again | ||||||||
Is it escargo or sushi? I don't know I just know it's sea food again Gritty, sandy sea food again |

Squirrel of the Seas
I've got treasure hot in my hands |
I'll try burying it in the sand |
And there's a secret spot that I know |
In seven hours I've got a hole |
No peeking |
Blistered my soles |
To bury the gold that they're seeking |
Maybe this spot's too easy to find |
Maybe this spot's erosion inclined |
I'll dig that treasure up to secure it |
And polish it up just to ensure |
It's pretty |
Then dig a new hole |
And bury it below preceiving |
I am the pie-are-at guy |
Moving my jewels |
'Til they're hard to find |
I am the squirrel of the seas |
Scratching at fleas |
Jewels are on my mind |
I should move that treasure again |
To know that |
Treasure's hard to find, Treasure's hard to find |
Maybe this hole's poorly disguised |
Maybe it won't decieve prying eyes |
I'll dig another hole like before |
Diggin' treasure's not such a chore, it's real fun |
Then I'll make a map so I know which hole's the real one |
Just tell me which map's the real one (in a confused mumble) |

The Pirate Code
You've got your prisioner bound in braces |
Where your monkey throws it's poo |
It's vocations flinging feces t'entertain your crew |
I think you like to be a pirate |
I think you like to be so cruel |
I think you live by code of pirates |
Breaking every
single rule |
You take what you take |
You slew who you slew |
And now, you be pirating your Pirate's Code |
You got all the right sea skills |
You pay with your bright blade |
And always try to be pirating your Pirate's Code |
Yeah you got gold again |
You got
treasure to gain |
You say they taught you how to steal and fight |
Yeah, they taught you to play fow-well |
I say they taught you how to stab a back |
And watch your buddies bleed and drow-en |
I think you like to wear your eyepatch proud |
I think you love to wear a frow-en |
I think you are blind to the fact |
That the code
you live is the code that cuts you dow-en |
You slay who you slay |
You took what you took |
You always try to be pirating your Pirate's Code |
You got all the right sea skills |
You pay with your bright blade |
You always try
to be pirating your Pirate's Code |
Feel the sound of cannons (Got gold to gain) |
You tumble and you crawl |
Yeah your sails begin to burn |
Feel the sound of cannons (Got gold to gain) |
You tumble and you crawl |
Your sundered ships timbers start to burn |
Yeah your
ship's gonna burn |
Bad
monkey! No! Very very Bad monkey! |
They took what they took from you |
You're chained in their chains |
And cry, they be pirating their pirates code |
You jump when they say frog |
You'll pay for your bright blade |
And cry,
they're pirating their pirates code |
Feel the sound of cannons (Got gold to gain) |
You tumble and you crawl |
Yeah they got gold to gain |
Feel the sound of cannons (Got gold to gain) |
You tumble and you crawl |
The Greatest Gourmet Swedish Chef in Bucaneer Bay
He was a famous Sweedish chef upon a ship to Brazil |
He made the meanest meatballs spiced with savory and dill |
He was the best chef in his field |
But then some pirates came along and now he's making their meals |
He's with the pirates now. He's baking swill souffle |
He's the
greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
They made him boil seaweed for the crew to eat |
It really brought him down because they had no meat |
The captain seemed to want a treat |
For the next day captain commandeered a fishing fleet |
And now the buccaneers cheer, and scarf flounder flambe |
He's the
greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
A root, a toot, a ladle in his boot |
He bakes them grog-lemon beans - So have no worries |
For although they make a flatulant team |
They prevent scurvy |
And now the buccaneers cheer, as they eat shark fillet |
He's the
greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
He was the greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
And when he made his greatest gourmet dishes |
He was spicy as a salty spray |
And when he made those meals the buccaneers ate all night and day |
He's the
greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
Lickupa lickitylipa lickitylipa lick lick |
They dined all night and all day |
On mackrel chowder and oyster-lime puree |
They got no scurvy |
And those buccaneers cheer for their swordfish souflee |
He's the
greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
He fills those bucker's bellies with goodies every night |
And they gobble down some more in the early bright |
They raise their grog and lick their plates |
And they'll be coming back for thirds before it gets too late |
Arr arr they cheer for him at the end of the day |
For
that greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
A sip, a slurp a sat-is-fying burp burp burp |
Those pirates once thrived on risk |
Now they dine in style on grapefruit lobster bisque |
Say - so long - scurvy |
And those buccaneers cheer for their pirate buffet |
And the greatest gourmet Sweedish chef in Buccaneer Bay |
