You wanna know where you are, laddie?
Alright then, let me tell you
Palm trees sway in the Caribbean breeze
The hot Sun beating down
A wanted man with a price on my head
On the run from the British crown
Last week in Port Royal
I stole a ship and killed the crew
I set sail on a moonlit sky
I knew just what I had to do
It's time to spin the wheel
We can go anywhere we feel
We're heading west
To the land that's the best
And I ain't ever coming back
Tortuga, Tortuga
Far across the waves
We'vе sailed for many days
Tortuga, Tortuga
Welcome to thе sea
If you're gonna drink rum
Then you better drink rum with me
Welcome to the sea
Welcome to the sea
Captain Yarrface here
To tell you how it's going to be
Pow! Pow! Firing my treasure gun
The Royal Navy's got you on the run
It's time to dig for treasure
It's time to quest forever
Sail across the oceans blue
There's a land that waits for you
Where the alcohol will flow forever
To the land of endless rum
In the Caribbean Sun
It's the place where we must go
Tortuga, Tortuga
Far across the waves
We've sailed for many days
Tortuga, Tortuga
Welcome to the sea
If you're gonna drink rum
Then you better drink rum with me
Across the sea, across the sand
I've set my sights on a far off land
Across the sea, across the sand
I've set my sights on a far off land!
Tortuga, Tortuga
Far across the waves
We've sailed for many days
Tortuga, Tortuga
Welcome to the sea
If you're gonna drink rum
Then you better drink rum in
Tortuga, Tortuga
Far across the waves
We've sailed for many days
Tortuga, Tortuga
Welcome to the sea
If you're gonna drink rum
Then you better drink rum with me
