Pirate, Pirate, Dressed in Blue lyrics

Pirate, Pirate, Dressed in Blue

These are the actions you must do

Stand at attention,

Stand at ease.

Bend your elbows,

Bend your knees.

Salute to the Captain,

Bow to the Queen,

Turn your back on the submarine.

Pirate, Pirate,

Dressed in Blue

These are the actions you must do

Stand at attention,

Stand at ease.

Bend your elbows,

Bend your knees.

Salute to the Captain,

Bow to the Queen,

Turn your back on the submarine.
