I Want to Be a Pirate

I want to be a pirate
And sail the seven seas
I want to sail a pirate ship
And feel a salty breeze

I want to hoist the mainsail
And make someone walk the plank
I want to fly the pirate flag
After the enemy sank

If I could only be a pirate
I would act real mean and grim
But I’ll never be a pirate
Unless I learn to swim
