Eleven Rorty Pirates

Eleven rorty pirates were sailing on the sea

     With me row hi-ho hi-ho

Eleven rorty pirates, and one of them was me

     With me row hi-ho hi-ho


Then two rorty pirates fell into the sea

Fell into the sea where the wind meets the lee


(That left) nine rorty pirates sailing on the sea

Nine rorty pirates, and one of them was me


Then two rorty pirates were eaten by a shark

Eaten by a shark ‘bout an hour after dark


(That left) seven rorty pirates sailing on the sea

Seven rorty pirates, and one of them was me


Then two rorty pirates were made to walk the plank

Made to walk the plank cos they robbed the Pirate Bank


(That left) five rorty pirates sailing on the sea

Five rorty pirates, and one of them was me


Then two rorty pirates were hang-ed by the neck

Hang-ed by the neck high above the quarterdeck


(That left) three rorty pirates sailing on the sea

Three rorty pirates, and one of them was me


Then two rorty pirates ate some poison fish

Ate some poison fish, oh it was their final dish


(That left) one rorty pirate sailing on the sea

Sailing on the sea, and the Captain now is … me!

With me row-hi ho-hi, row-hi ho-hi, row-hi ho-hi 

Row ho ho!
