lyrics

Well if swinging the lead ain't the stride for ye, hop off ashore to this economy. Anchor your values in a simpler life as we’re digging our way to paradise.

We're dancing the hempen jig for our lives out on the rig. We’re trading up to long clothes, yo ho! We put a black spot out on our last come about, Avast! to that life of piracy!

No prey, No pay was for the olden days. Now there’s no more hanging a jib. We’re working the land and it’s work that pays, becalmed is now the way that we live!

Well if swinging the lead ain't the stride for ye, hop off ashore to this democracy. Anchor your values in a simpler life as we’re digging our way to paradise!

No more being a naive. Ahoy! to the golden age! Now a grog blossom ain’t the only bloom we can grow! No longer out on account! No need for a lookout! On the land the cackle fruit is fresh each day!

No prey, No pay was for the olden days. Now we’re toasting our nipperkin. To working the land and to changing our ways, we’ve hit the mother-load with soil so rich and the seeds we’ve sown within!

Well if swinging the lead ain't the stride for ye, hop off ashore to this agronomy. We’ve anchored our values in a simpler life as we tunnel our way to paradise!
