Ballad of the Shark de Triomphe
back to Bluenose    
 
RATT: Oh, the Shark de Triomphe and its fearless crew
Roam far and long and wide
We're not the type you have for tea,
We're more the thorn in your side.
We plunder what pleases us and throw away the rest,
When it comes to downright thievery we really are the best.

CHORUS:   (All three pirates sing)

You've never met a pirate 'til you've met the likes of us,
We aren't very likeable: we smell, we cheat, we cuss.
Our motto is so simple and plain for all to see.
"What's yours is ours, what's ours is ours,
'Til the end of eternity."

SPATT: One day we landed on an isle
Full of bright and precious jewels,
The locals gathered 'round and asked,
'Are you kind or are you cruel?'
We looked at them straight in the eye and never did we blink,
We robbed them blind – took everything!
And thought our ship would sink.


Repeat chorus


KNAT: Some pirates are rather friendly,
You might call some polite.
Others want to steal the sun,
And rule over the night.
We're cut from a different cloth, you see, we dance to a different tune:
We aim to steal the sun and stars, then we'll nab the moon!


Repeat chorus
