Soundtrack, Ladies And Gentlemen, For 'Talk Like A Pirate Day'

[The Magistrate]

A few anachronisms and mis-uses of terminology from the era, but still in all a rousing chorus indeed....

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

1. It's beautiful but

nobody goes "arrrrrrr" in it.

You know.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[The Magistrate]

2. Nobody 'Brings Her Round To The Lee-Ward Wind' Either, Honey

Leeward is the side away from the wind, and to turn in that direction is to run before the wind, but the thing is pretty enough to over-ride such niggling notes....

"There's many a day on the Spanish Main, but none holds I so dear, as that happy day when I became a scurvy buccaneer!"

[nuxvomica]

3. 'Tis a fine song that ne'er I heard afore, arrrh

I be tankin' ye for postin' such grand booty at this here port for us scurvy landlubbers and scalliwags. Arrrrrh.

[The Magistrate]

4. Thank'ee, M'Lad....

Here is a genuine one from a period a bit later, but with some good verses and truely right sound about it....
