Sealegs Ethel is a pirate and she’s as cunning as any fox,

She’s made her home on the salty foam, in a ship called the Sweaty Sock.

She sails the ocean far from home, aboard with a pirate crew,

A scurvy bunch of sea dogs… just like me and you!


Now, Ethel has a liking, a taste for Pieces of Eight,

The flash of the moon on a Spanish doubloon will seal your watery fate.

Armed to the teeth she’ll order, “Fire cannons, one, two, three�,

And your ship will be taken for plunder and she’ll toast your toes for tea….



For Ethel is a clever lass, she’s been to Pirate school,

She learned her “Arrrs� from an old sea tar and she knows the Pirate Rules.

Free grog for all, each man one vote and for each a booty share,

No cheating at cards, no loaded dice and a bathtime twice a year.




But the crew turned pale at the thought of the tub, they’d avoid it if they could,

“Ye’ll walk the plank if ye don’t get in� cried Ethel scenting blood.

And in they stepped all sheepish, their faces drawn of hope,

There’s murderous cries and “curse yer eyes� as Ethel threw in the soap.



So, take a care upon the seas your fortune for to seek,

For the Sweaty Sock has changed her name, now that there is no reek,

She’s the sweetest smelling Pirate ship the Main has ever seen,

And Sealegs Ethel is her Captain and her crew is awfully clean.
