Can anyone think of a really well known song with a pirate in?

[callipso]

please...

[YuckIHateCheeseStrings]

There's one that goes "Oh ho ho and a bottle of gin, a pirate's life is the life for me". We used to sing it a school, sorry can't remember what it's called.

[seeker]

A favourite chez Seeker!

When I was one, I sucked my thumb, the day I went to sea.

I climbed aboard the Pirate ship, and the captain said to me,

"We?re going this way, that way, forward, backward, over the Irish Sea,

A bottle of rum to fill my tum, and that?s the life for me."

When I was two, I tied my shoe?

When I was three, I climbed a tree?

When I was four, I shut the door?

When I was five, I took a dive?

When I was six, I picked up sticks?

When I was seven, I went to Heaven?

When I was eight, I shut the gate?

When I was nine, I stood in line?

When I was ten, I did it again?

[mumblechum]

Oh Seeker I've been going insane trying to remember that one!

[stripeymama]

Robbie Rotten sings one about You are a pirate on the Lazytown cd

Lived his life and he lived it hard....

Many thanks everyone - that's just what
I needed (my imagination/memory is failing
me tonight) - and stripeymama, that is a
great link - thanks

[fryalot]

there's the boogie beebies one:

yo ho yo hee hee
a pirate's gang is the life for me
yo ho yo hee hee
setting sail on the seven seas

[cazzybabs]

OHH there is a you tube video of you are a pirate www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsJyfN0ICU - it is so funny. WE used in outr Year 1 literacy lesson - they loved it!

[cazzybabs]

Oh you are a pirate from lazytown - it is dead catchy by the way

[islandofsodor]

Anything from The Pirates of Penzance

[LadyOfWaffle]

Ditto Seekers Or I think in Peter Pan (the proper 1950s one) they sung a pirate song.

[Ellbell]

That's timely islandofsodor. DD1 has just (well, earlier tonight, obviously - not at 1 a.m.) been to school disco dressed as a pirate with all of us going; 'Foooooor I am a pirate king. I am a pirate king. And it is, it is, a glorious thing to be a pirate king - it is. Hoorah for the pirate king, hoorah for the pirate king!' (And repeat tunelessly ad infinitum.)

[gigglewitch]

i think the original tune wasn't much good anyway - isn't it (imaginatively titled) I am a pirate king from G&S Pirates of Penzance? they only wrote two tunes and recycled them in all their operettas... your DD has a good chance of making her own one up

not a G&S fan.
