[Verse 1]
D G
In fifteen eighty we sailed our little ship
Em A D
Around the coast of Africa down the Gaza strip.
G
We took some salty bacon and a hammock for a bed
Em A D
Then we mixed it with the Spaniards in the middle of the Med.
D
Well we hired our funds saw the pretty girls a comin'
A D
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago.
D
We hired some more and then we started runnin'

All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
D Bm A G
(Mexico), Mexico, (oh-oh), Mexico, (Mexico), Mexico.

Well Francis Drake said if you really want a fight
Em A D
The best thing is to catch them in the middle of the night.

We hoisted anchor and powdered up the gun
Em A D
Then we sailed around in circles and just waited for the fun.

Well we hired our funds saw the pretty girls a comin'

[Verse 3]
D G
Well cannon balls flew and the ship began to sink
Em A D
The water started risin' so we really had to think
G
And then by chance stood a man as black as coal
Em A D
So we grabbed him by the trousers and we plugged him in the hole.
D
Well we hired our funds saw the pretty girls a comin'
A D
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago.

[Verse 4]
D G
Well we fired from the side port and we fired from the back
Em A D
And then we fired from the gallery and through every little crack.
G
We fired so much that the cook started cooking
Em A D
Didn't have to worry so we flew the Union Jack.
