The Pirate's Gospel

While some folks row way up to heaven

I'm gonna sing the pirate's gospel

I'm gonna sow these feet for dancin'

I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open

Yo ho yo ho

Yo ho ho

Yo ho yo ho ho

Yo ho yo ho

Sing the pirate's gospel

Add another flame

To our forest

Where big bellied whales

Keep us chanting

We're slapping fireflies

For tiny dancers

Where the children creep

Until the morning

When the sun does seep

Into our fair flesh

Until the fingernails

Will take us home

Yo ho yo ho

Yo ho ho

Yo ho yo ho ho

Yo ho yo ho

Sing the pirate's gospel

While some folks pray

Their path to Jesus

We're gonna sing

The pirate's gospel

We're gonna sow

Our feet for dancing

We're gonna keep

Our eyes wide open

We're gonna sing

The pirate's gospel

We're gonna chant

The pirate's gospel

You'll find us clap

The pirate's gospel

Yo ho yo ho

Yo ho ho

Yo ho yo ho ho

Yo ho yo ho

Sing the pirate's gospel

Sing the pirate's gospel
