Now I've done a string of horrible things Like murdering, pillaging and theft I've looted the junks in the Straits of Malacca Put Spanish explorers to death But prejudice would be the ugliest thing For a waitress so lovely to feel
Is it because I'm a pirate You seem to have cancelled our date? And is it because I'm a pirate That now it's a quarter to eight Your prejudice turns you against me But I am prepared to wait
'I like your eyepatch!' 'Who said that?' I took in your waist then your face Floating above me, pouring out tea In some Nakameguro place And though it was rude to the girl I was with I asked if you'd go for a date And then when you said you'd be happy to meet I dreamed of your breasts and your face
Is it because I'm a pirate You seem to have cancelled our date? Your prejudice turned you against me And now it's a quarter past eight A stereotype would be ugly For someone so lovely to propagate
Of course I am wanted by customs officials Of course I'm an international fugitive When not slitting throats of the people on boats I am kind and surprisingly sensitive Set your mind free, as I know you can One day you may see me as just another man
Is it because I'm a pirate I seem to be stood up again? And is it because I'm a pirate It's already quarter to ten? Life is too short, I am too great For a waitress so lovely to hate I am prepared to wait
