The Beast of Pirate's Bay lyrics

Gather weary traveler, I have a tale to tell

It might just save your life but only if you listen well

There before the breakers and just along the way

There's a sign. it says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Some say he's a guppy a kid threw in the sea

He ate so many sailors now he's bigger than a tree

His teeth are sharp as scissors his claws they are like knives

And if you think he's ugly? Wait 'till you see his insides!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim

'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him

He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away

Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Some say he's a serpent that came straight from hell

To eat the souls of pirates and other ne'er-do-wells

Some they don't believe it. As for me? I've got a hunch

'Cause they used to have some pirates here... But he ate them all for lunch!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim

'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him

He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away

Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Captain Hook, ya heard of him? He came to Pirate's Bay

It seems his little Nemesis, had nearly got away

He reached into the water to grab at Peter Pan

There was a crunch and a scream, and now that scurvy captain's got hooks on both his hands!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim

'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him

He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away

Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Blackbeard the Pirate. Ya know for what he's feared?

It's mostly for that dark imposing color of his beard

He saw the beast and now nobody's scared of him because

His beard turned white and all agree: He looks like Santa Claus!

Oh don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you swim

'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him

He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away

Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Well now the tavern's empty and there's only you and me

And, if you care, I'd like to share how this song came to be

So come a little closer if you really want to know

This very sad and woeful tale that happened so long ago

Well, I was just a little boy when I went to Pirate's bay

And there I saw a creature that was very much dismayed

With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side

This mighty whale was in such pain we both began to cry

I pushed and I shoved but he would not give way

Into the deeper waters of our shallow Pirate's Bay

All I could do to help him was to keep people away

So I wrote a sign...that said: "BEWARE: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Oh don't you sail and don't you row

And certainly don't you swim

'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of him

He'll eat you up and spit you out so you better stay away

Heed the sign that says: "BEWARE!: "

Hell, I should know! I put it there!

Heed the sign that says:

"BEWARE: The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"
