Slay Ride
(Leroy Anderson, alt. lyrics by Craig Lutke, Nathan Campbell, & Christopher Dallion)

Just hear those ship bells ringing. The cannons are bringing your doom.
Come on, it's lovely weather for to slay, rob, and plunder from you.

Outside their flags are falling. Our enemies bawling "Boo Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather for to slay, rob, and plunder from you.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go. We're taking your dough.
We'll leave you in a tiny boat to row.
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up. It's grand. A hook for a hand.
We're sailing along with the song of a salty pirate band.

Among your things we mosey because so nosy are we.
Things that are made of leather that will help you whenever you breed.

To have a treat just for us, we'll sing and pour us a brew.
Come on, it's lovely weather for to slay, rob, and plunder from you.

There's a treasure fleet that's sailing out from Veracruz
The Captain says we'll steal their gold and drink their booze!
We'll be firing our guns to take those ships without a single stop
'Til they lower their flags and let their anchors drop
(Plop! Plop! Plop!)

We'll count your money dreaming of the things we'll buy
As we pass around the rum so strong it makes you cry
It'll be just like that story about Long John Silver's crew
We'll bury our gold in the sand, and we'll leave you there, too!
We'll bury our gold in the sand, and we'll leave you there, too!

And now it's so damned snowy. The wind is so blowy, can't see.
Because of crappy weather, now we're all lost together at sea.

But we've got rum to store us ´til another shore is in view
Yes, it's still lovely weather for to slay, rob, and plunder from you.
Come on, it's lovely weather for to slay, rob, and plunder from you.
Come on, it's lovely weather for to slay, rob, and plunder from you.
