Adam Ant - Jolly Roger

Adam ant/marco pirroni





In days of oldwhen ships were bold


Just like the men who sailed them


And if they showed us disrespect


We’d tie them up and flail them


Often men of low degree


And often men of steel


Who’d make you walk the plank alone


Or haul you ’round the keel





Hoist the jolly roger!


Hoist the jolly roger!


Hoist the jolly roger!


It’s your money that we want


And your money we shall have!





Of all the pirates on the seas


The worst of them was blackbeard


So damnable a fiend from hell


He was the one they most feared


Any man who sailed with him


Was taking quite a chance


He’d hang them from the gallows


Just to see if they could dance (ha! ha!)
