Lyrics
[Intro]
Yo ho ho on the seven seas
A pirate's legend, if you please
Clumsy hands and a heart of gold
A tale of folly now unfold
[Verse 1]
On a ship called the Slippery Sloop
His mates would always cheer and whoop
A mermaid caught in tangled net
Oh, the chaos, don't forget
[Instrumental Break]
(Guitar strumming, light rhythm)
[Chorus]
Clumsy pirate tripped and fell
Lost his balance, you could tell
Mermaid laughed and gave a wink
Slipped away as quick as a blink
[Verse 2]
Pirate stumbled, gap-toothed grin
Tried to woo her, what a sin
“Fair mermaid, stay, please don't flee!”
He pleaded, dropping to one knee
[Mermaid’s Reply]
“Clumsy pirate, can't you see?
I'm as wild as the deep blue sea
Catch me if you think you can
But I’ll outwit any man”
[Instrumental Break]
(Accordion solo with a jig feel)
[Verse 3]
Moonlit waves and salty air
Pirate searched with utmost care
Mermaid watched with curious eyes
As he bumbled under starlit skies
[Bridge]
Treasure maps and dreams of gold
But a mermaid’s tale, brave and bold
Pirate’s folly, heart so pure
In her laughter, found the cure
[Chorus]
Clumsy pirate tripped and fell
Lost his balance, you could tell
Mermaid laughed and gave a wink
Slipped away as quick as a blink
[Verse 4]
Days went by, he wouldn't yield
In the ocean’s vast, wide field
“Mermaid, dear, I seek your heart
Please, let's have a brand new start”
[Mermaid’s Reply]
“Pirate, with your heart so true
Maybe I could stay with you
But first, show me you're not just bold
Prove your heart is made of gold”
[Instrumental Break]
(Flute melody with ocean sounds)
[Verse 5]
Underneath the stars so bright
Pirate pledged his love that night
“With this ring of ocean’s pearl
Be my treasure, be my girl”
[Mermaid’s Reply]
“Clumsy pirate, now I see
You’re as wild as the deep blue sea
Together we shall sail and sing
Bound by love, and ocean’s ring”
[Chorus]
Clumsy pirate tripped and fell
Lost his balance, you could tell
Mermaid laughed and gave a wink
Together now, as quick as a blink
[Outro]
Yo ho ho on the seven seas
A pirate's legend, if you please
Clumsy hands and a heart of gold
A tale of love, forever told
