Gather weary travelers
I have a tale to tell
It might just save yourlives but only if you listen well
'Cause there before the breakers and just around the way
There's a sign that says
Beware the beast of pirate's bay
Some say he's a guppy a kind threw in the sea
He ate so
Many sailors now he's bigger than a tree
His teeth are sharp
As scissors his claws
They are like knives
And if you think
He's ugly
Wait 'til you see his insides
Oh
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim
'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him
He'll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You'd
Better stay away
Heed the sign that says beware the beast
Of pirate's bay
Some say he's a serpent that came straight from hell to eat
The souls of pirates and other ne'er do wells
Some they
Don't believe it as for me I've got a hunch
'Cause they used
To have some pirates here
But he ate them all for lunch
Oh
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim
'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him
He'll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You'd
Better stay away
Heed the sign that says beware the beast
Of pirate's bay
Well
Good ol' captain rhubarb
He came to pirate's bay
Seems his little trobble had nearly got away
He reached into the water to grab it from the sand
There was
A crunch and a scream
And now that scurvy captain's got hooks
On both his hands
Oh
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim
'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him
He'll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You'd
Better stay away
Heed the sign that says beware the beast
Of pirate's bay
Well
Blackberry the pirate
You know for what he's feared
It's mostly for the dark
Imposing color of his beard
He saw
The beast and now nobody's scared of him because
His beard
Turned white and all agree
He looks like santa claus
Oh
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim
'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him
He'll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You'd
Better stay away
Heed the sign that says beware the beast
Of pirate's bay
Well
Now yulgar's inn is empty and there's only you and me
And if you care I'd like to share how this song came to be
So come a little closer if you really want to know
This very
Sad and woeful tale happened so long ago
Well
I was just a little boy when I went to pirate's bay and
There I saw a creature that was very much dismayed
With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side
This mighty whale was in such pain
We both began to cry
I pushed and I shoved but he wouldn't give way into the
Deeper waters off our shallow pirate's bay
All I could do
To help him was to keep people away
So I wrote a sign that
Said
Beware the beast of pirate's bay and what did it say
Oh
Don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you
Swim
'Cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of
Him
He'll eat you up
He'll spit you out
You'd better stay
Away
Heed the sign that says beware
Hell I should know
I put it there
Heed the sign that says
Beware the beast of pirate's bay
