Oh! swabbing the deck and drinking our rum
(a pirates life for us)
we think we're cool, but you say we're scum
(and Jesus Christ that hurts)
Sailing the seas in search of treasure
(one day, we'll be rich)
and kicking the shit out of you for pleasure
(oooh yaaa.........etc)
We're the crew of the Bucking Fastbard,
we're black bearded, patchy eyed,
We don't kill, but we really slap hard,
especially when we slap our thighs.....ooow!
Oh! swabbing the decks, an everyday chore
(and catching some fish with our hooks)
we sail into port and we bonk a whore
(avoiding the one with plooks)
Hoist up the mast, we're setting sail
(with the wind behind our backs)
on the menu, tonight is biscuit and whale
(Oh! Jesus Christ that sucks)
We're the crew of the Bucking Fastbard,
we're black bearded, patchy eyed,
We don't kill, but we really slap hard,
especially when we slap our thighs.....ooow!
Oh! swabbing the decks ten times a day
(no wonder, we're always moaning)
No women for months, so we're all gay
(quite partial to a buggering)
up in the crows nest, the look out keeps watch
(with eagle eyes he looks)
avoiding the lighthouse and sharp jaggy rocks)
(otherwise, we're fucked)
We're the crew of the Bucking Fastbard,
we're black bearded, patchy eyed,
We don't kill, but we really slap hard,
especially when we slap our thighs.....ooow!
