1. "Land, ho! upon the starboard bow!" and Dingleberry barked ,4Bow wow!"
Tip takes a look through spyglass and exclaims, "Hooray! is Pirate Land!
There's Captain Kidd, and Morgan, too; besides, each has a pirate crew!"
2. The pirates were a motley crew, with noses painted red and blue.
While tankards passed around the throng, the pirates started up a song.
A treasure chest, and on the lid sat fifteen men and Captain Kidd.

3. Upon a table, worn and old, the pirates counted up their gold;
And, as if each feared for his life, in one liand he did grasp a knife.
And watched his neighbors closely while his golden doubloons he did pile.
4. Said one old pirate with-a snort, "Help! Thieves! I'm ten gold pieces short."
The rest rose to their feet as one, and every pirate drew a gun.
"Who is a thief? Take that for yout" And, bingo! how the bullets flew!
