I Want to Be a Pirate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Washed upon a sunny beach
Now I found my place
Like in my mother's arms
Where I never been hugged
Greeted by banana trees
I escape the world
In the dreamy land
Where I have all the luck
I want to be a pirate
Want to drink rum
Want to have fun
I want to be a pirate
Ravage and pillage
All in good fun
Spent my last pieces of eight
To buy a Jolly Roger
Sailing high seas I will get paid
In treasures and in wonders
