Successful Pirates Introduction Lyrics by Tanglefoot

Captured Alive

0

[Spoken]
Well, I wonder, if it has plagued so many of you, the way it has plagued me, why it is that all the songs about pirates involve faliure. (Crowd: Arrrrrr)
Exactly! Arrrrrrrr...
[laughter]
Why is it that in all the songs, all the pirates end up walking the plank or getting eaten by sharks or dismasted or dismembered or just generally mis-done-by
It always seemed to me, that for all the drunken sailors and for all the Barrett's privateers of this world that there were probably a lot of successful pirates out there making a living at it. Otherwise, why would so many of them have been out there?
And I- I think actually, we have evidence that- that there were successful pirates in those days. Their descendants live, to this day, in the Senate
[laughter]
So it seemed that it might be appropriate to have a song about successful piracy. Not that we're promoting it or anything but it's just fun to say ARRRRRR!
And you can feel free to say that anytime, during the song, if you wish
