We are dividing our plunder
Everyone will get their share
When you sail across the sea
There's treasure anywhere
We are dividing our plunder
Oppose us if you dare
We are pirates, and we are free.
Biggest share for our captain, for leading us strong
Second most for our first mate, for guiding us home
Then come all us deckhands, we'll also get our share
Life on this ship is fair
Low in the sea lie the ships of Spanish gold
Ripe for the taking by the wicked and the bold
We are only taking back what is rightfully ours
So open broadside, fire our guns
We are dividing our plunder
Everyone will get their share
When you sail across the sea
There's treasure anywhere
We are dividing our plunder
Oppose us if you dare
We are pirates, and we are free.
But to gain a Spanish galleon is not an easy task
You have to keep your witts and let the darkness mask
As you're stalking your prey, trying to find out
If it's worth it, without a doubt
Then we come in close, hoist the Spanish colours high
Masquerading to be allies, then we let the cannons fly
Showing our true colours, warning shots are made
Surrender now or with life you will pay
We are dividing our plunder
Everyone will get their share
When you sail across the sea
There's treasure anywhere
We are dividing our plunder
Oppose us if you dare
We are pirates, and we are free.
When we later do make port, some will spend their shiny gold
On taverns and on brothels, them wrenches to behold
For to keep them warm at night and fill their hearts with cheer
Fill up our cups with rum and beer
In some pirates wisdom say, they will a fortune put away
Buried deep in sand and then found another day
Concealing any evidence of gold and scurvy men
Now we set sail out to sea once again
We are dividing our plunder
Everyone will get their share
When you sail across the sea
There's treasure anywhere
We are dividing our plunder
Oppose us if you dare
We are pirates, and we are free.
