Come take a trip with me
I'll tell you of the greatest man who ever sailed the sea
Fae Scotland's Bonnie shores
He pillaged 'cross the ocean, in search of rum galore
Aboard the good ship Scum
He'd fire a mighty blast from the 16 pounder gun
His legendary crew
Could sail that ship to hell and back
There's nothing they can't do
He killed the mighty terrorsquid
The greatest man who ever lived
He beat the Vikings in a bloody war
Meet yer dad and smell yer maw
Fannybaws he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws with the black flag flying
Plundering, pillaging, spreading disease
Fannybaws he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws with the black flag flying
Bringing his foes to their knees
Fannybaws
Whoah oh in Oban he was raised
He drank a bucket full of rum every single day
Whoah oh his beard of flaming red
Would terrorize his enemies
And make them wish they're dead
Whoah oh four pistols on his belt
He went to battle naked, wearing just a tiger's pelt
Whoah oh his name was Fannybaws
Now haud yer wheesht ya glaikit cunt
Or else he'll pump yer maw!
Fannybaws he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws with the black flag flying
Plundering, pillaging, spreading disease
Fannybaws he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws with the black flag flying
Bringing his foes to their knees
Fannybaws
Who killed the mighty Terrorsquid? Fannybaws
The greatest man who ever lived? Fannybaws
Who beat the vikings in a war? Fannybaws
Meet yer dad and smell yer maw
Who drinks his whisky neat and strong? Fannybaws
Who's got a boaby two feet long? Fannybaws
Who's gonna take nae shite from you? Fannybaws
So what the fuck you gonna do?
He drinks his whisky neat and strong
He's got a boaby two feet long
He's gonna take nae shite from the likes of you
So what the fuck you gonna do?
Fannybaws he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws with the black flag flying
Plundering, pillaging, spreading disease
Fannybaws he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws with the black flag flying
Bringing his foes to their knees
