SKURVY:
If ya ask me mother, she'll say, "Ah, he's not so bad"
But when I left the house, I took everything she had
I took 'er silver and 'er gold, and scoffed 'er weddin' band
I even took 'er aprons and 'er copper pots and pans

KUTLASS & GREEN KROC:
Lyin', lootin', stealin'

SKURVY:
Is the reason I'm a pirate!

KUTLASS & GREEN KROC:
Ransackin', pillagin'

SKURVY:
Don't knock it 'til you try it!

KUTLASS & GREEN KROC:
Plundering and pilferin'

SKURVY:
Make up a healthy diet!
Arrh, look at me! I'm doin' the Booty Boogie!

No treasure is too big; I'd scarf the peaks of Kilimanjaro
As well as raid the tomb; I'd steal the mummy from a pharaoh,
I'd swipe the Crown Jewels, and Merlin's crystal ball,
But the Crystal Coconut is the daddy of 'em all!
If you want a job with all the riches you can stand,
And all o' the security of a great pension plan,
Arrh! Then come aboard!

ALL:
Lyin', lootin', stealin' is the reason we are pirates!
Ransackin', pillagin', don't knock it 'til you try it!
Plunderin' and pilferin' make up a healthy diet,
Arrh, look at us! We're doin' the Booty Boogie!
Arrh, from sea to sea! We're doin' the Booty Boogie!

KUTLASS:
Heh-heh, what a nice-a song.

GREEN KROC:
Mais, oui.

Singer	French lyrics	Translation
Skurvy	Ma maman vous dira toujours : « Ah, qu'il est gentil ! » Mais en quittant la maison, j'ai pris tout ce qu'elle avait J'ai pris son or, tous ses bijoux et même son argenterie Je lui ai même volé son service à thé anglais	My mom will always tell you, "Oh, he's so nice!" But when I left home, I took everything she had I took her gold, all her jewelry, and even her silverware I even stole her English tea set
Kutlass & Green Kroc	Mentir, piller, voler	Lying, plundering, stealing
Skurvy	C'est pour ça que je suis un pirate	That's why I'm a pirate
Kutlass & Green Kroc	Saccager et mettre à sac	Sacking and ransacking
Skurvy	Croyez-moi, c'est amusant	Believe me, it's fun
Kutlass & Green Kroc	On chaparde, on plume	We pilfer, we swindle
Skurvy	Et on file sur notre belle frégate Ah, regardez ! Je danse le rock du pirate	And sail away on our beautiful frigate Oh, look! I'm dancing the pirate rock
	Y a rien de trop gros pour moi, je volerais même le Kilimandjaro Et si je pillais une tombe, ce serait celle de grands pharaons J'irais dans un palais anglais voler tous les joyaux Mais c'est la Noix de coco en cristal que nous voulons	Nothing is too big for me, I would even steal Kilimanjaro And if I plundered a tomb, it would be that of great pharaohs I would go to an English palace and steal all the jewels But the Crystal Coconut is what we want
	Si vous voulez un boulot qui rapporte de l'argent Au grand air et surtout qui ne soit pas fatigant Alors embarquez !	If you want a job that makes money In the fresh air and above all that is not tiring Then get on board!
All	Mentir, piller, voler, c'est pour ça que nous sommes des pirates Saccager et mettre à sac, croyez-nous, c'est amusant On chaparde, on plume et on file sur notre belle frégate Oh, regardez ! On danse le rock du pirate Sur les sept mers, on danse le rock du pirate	Lying, plundering, stealing, that's why we're pirates Sacking and ransacking, believe us, it's fun We pilfer, we swindle, and we sail away on our beautiful frigate Oh, look! We're dancing the pirate rock On the seven seas, we're dancing the pirate rock
