The Isle of Tortuga
(Craig Lutke)

We spent a long time in de islands
And we’ve run fresh out of limes
We need a place for the debased
To spend the booty from our crimes
We got a ship full of pirates
Been a long time away from shore
We burning holes in our pockets
We know we got a lot of fun in store

(Chorus)
And as we ‘round into de quay
We know where to stay
A place that’s never seen de law
Where the beer is never flat
And the girls are on their back
It’s the Isle of Tortuga

The Pilot dives overboard
Before we ever reach the docks
He saw the gals on the white sands
He’s got a key to fit their locks
You’ve never seen such an island
Where your pirate dreams come true
If you’ve got booty for de booty
There’s nothing that could be taboo

There’s a mile full of barrels
Full of beer up to my eyes
Happily each one is greeted
And sad are our goodbyes
I drink myself into a slumber
With a smile from ear to ear
When I wake up it’s a summer
I think I’ve lost about a half a year

The people, they a getting richer
From our extended stay
They charge a fee for debauchery
We keep it up day after day
And when we spend up all our money
We know we gotta go rob some more
We’ll make a short track to get back
To the island we adore
