Lyrics
Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul
Yo ho, heave ho
There are men whose hearts are as black as coal
Yo ho, heave ho
And they sailed their ship 'cross the ocean blue
A blood-thirsty captain and a cut-throat crew
It was dark a tale as was ever was told
Of the lust for treasure
And the love of gold!
Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides
Yo ho, heave ho
There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides
Yo ho, heave ho
And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum
The devil himself would have to call them scum
Every man aboard would have killed his weight
For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight
A piece of eight
A piece of eight
A-five, six, seven, eight!
Woona wacka woona wacka, something not right
Many wicked icky things gonna happen tonight
Woona wacka woona wacka, sailor man beware!
When the money's in the ground, there's murder in the air
Murder in the air
One more time now!
Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones
Yo ho, heave ho
There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones
Yo ho heave ho
When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed
There's no turning back from any course that's laid
And when greed and villainy sail the sea
You can bet your boots, there'll be treachery!
Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails
Dead men tell no tales!
