Yo Ho Ho

[beowulf]

Yo ho, yo ho, a congressman`s life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a congressman`s life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a congressman`s life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals, scoundrels, villans, and knaves,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a congressman`s life for me.
We're beggars and blighters, ne'er-do-well cads,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Aye matie, bita the devils brew fer me n you!                                                                                              tell me this version is`nt rather fitting !

[Bulldog lady]

     great spirit, please deliver us from the harshness of the winter and guide us to your beautiful mountains and prairies afore we all go crazy !!

[Otter]

Some a the folks I used to work with had a saying about how the trip to being driven crazy kept getting shorter and shorter. Heck now I can just walk there, no need to drive at all!!   

[Hawken50]

  Hey Otter up for a trek to crazy mountain.

[Watauga]

Well hopefully we haven't offended any Pirates by comparing them to Congressman!
   

[old salt]

 Well the Pirates might concider that hitting  below the belt

 

[Otter]

Hey Otter up for a trek to crazy mountain.

Why sure thing! DO they still have those great big white rabbits there? Sort of miss talking to my old buddy Harvey.

[Hawken50]

  Dont know bout white rabbits but,i bet dere's a big red badger dere.

[Red Badger]

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

(Captain)
Avast there mates, yer sailin' with Long John Black Beard, Peg-Leg, Patch-Eye Hook, scourge of the bounding main. Bloodthirstiest, black-heartiest pirate captain ever sailed the seven seas, ha, ha, ha! What say ye we hoist the Jolly Roger, heel over the yonder Spanish galleon. Lay a few broadsides agin' her timers, swing over on these here lanyards with our cutlasses in our teeth, cut 'em to ribbons and split the booty. What say ye to that, me hearties? Heh! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

(Twit)
I don't like it....

(Captain)
You don't like it?

(Twit)
I don't like it and I don't wanna do it. It's tacky,...tacky, tacky...and don't look at me that way

(Captain)
Well, if you don't like it, what do you want?

Chorus
I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance

(Captain)
You want to sing and dance, heh! You don't like plundering, aye? Well, shiver me timbers 'ow 'bout treasuring, huh? Rubies, emeralds and pearls, gold doubloons and British sovereigns. Silver chalices encrusted with diamonds and jewels, necklaces and bracelets of every shape and size, fit for the crown heads of Europe, aye? And all buried in a pirate's chest and I just happen to know where. How about that me bloodthirsty buckos, heh? Ha, ha, ha!

(Twit)
I don't like it.....

(Captain)
You don't like it?

(Twit)
I don't like it and I don't want it....

(Captain)
He don't want it

(Twit)
And I won't do it...I'm an artiste

(Captain)
An artiste? Well, mister artiste, what do you want?

Chorus
I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance

(Captain)
Now, listen here! This ain't no floating Gilbert and Sullivan show, you know for some little flittin' tinkerbell. This here be a black-hearted pirate ship and I would have you keelhauled if you weren't me own flesh and blood, you little twit! So you don't like plunderin' aye?.....

(Twit)
I don't like it.....

(Captain)
And you don't want no treasurin' ah?.....

(Twit)
I don't want it.....

(Captain)
And you probably don't want no groggin' and revelin' and wrenchin' and rummin' either, I suppose?

(Twit)
Well, deep down....you want to know the truth? It's not me, I don't want it.....

(Captain)
Well, what do you want...as if I didn't already bleedin' know?

(Twit)
I want to sing and dance and.....

(Captain)
I know, I know...and wear your tight little shiny pants. Huh! Okay...we'll all sing and dance (pirates grumble)... I said we'll all sing and dance (pirates grumble)... Or you'll walk the plank,...one - two - free
(Chorus in pirates' voices)
Chorus
I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance
(Over chorus, you hear the Captain and twit's voice say)

(Twit)
I like it....I like it

(Captain)
I kinda like it me own self

(Twit)
Thought you would

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

(Twit)
I don't like rum...

(Captain)
You don't like rum?

(Twit)
Well no, actually...well, I might like a little Perrier

(Captain)
A little Perrier?

(Twit)
With a lime in it...

(Captain)
A lime in it?..... He wants a lime in it.....

(Twit)
Well, do you have any Escargot?

(Captain)
Escar..what?

(Twit)
What's the soup today?...

(Captain)
Soup!?

(Twit)
Might have a bit of a salad too!...

(Captain)
Well, how about a bleeding fingerbowl?

(Twit)
Maybe a croissant!...Is that right? Those French make everything so hard! Why didn't they just call it a bun
