Lyrics

Part 1

Uniqua: If you wanna be a pirate, get up on your feet! You can’t be a pirate if you’re sitting in your seat! Swing your arms tough, and stand kind of low. And make this noise wherever you go: Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!" It might seem strange, just a bit bizarre. But they know you’re a pirate when they hear you say "Arrr!"

Austin: Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!" You wear a spare part, a bandana and a scar, and they know you’re a pirate when they hear you say "Arrr!"

Uniqua: The Jolly Roger is the pirate flag, a skull and some bones on a big black rag. We’ll fly it on our ship, up above the sails, and we'll search for treasure and be tough as nails!

Uniqua and Austin: Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!" If you think we're noisy, you're right. We are. 'Cause they know you're a pirate when they hear you say "Arrr!"

Part 2

Pablo: If you wanna be a pirate, sail the ocean blue! You go and steal some treasure, 'cause that's what pirates do.

Tyrone: We laugh a pirate laugh, and dance a pirate dance! We wear a puffy shirt and some baggy pants!

Pablo and Tyrone: Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!" You sail a pirate ship, you don't drive a car. And they know you're a pirate when they hear you say "Arrr!"

Tyrone: "Arrr" means yes, and "Arrr" means no!

Pablo: And "Arrr" means come on, mates, let's go!

Tyrone: Say "Arrr" when you're happy!

Pablo: And "Arrr" when you're smelly!

Tyrone: And "Arrr" when you're eating your pirate toast and jelly!

Pablo and Tyrone: Arrr! Arrr! Arrr! A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!" If you think we're tough, you're right. We are. 'Cause they know you're a pirate when they hear you say "Arrr!"
