Sure,
I wear an eye patch and a three cornered hat
Yer
lookin' at 'em funny, but hey I'm not like that.
Yer
lookin' at me plumage and me ruffled shirt
Be
careful now matey, a sailor could get hurt.
When
I come a-shore in yer little town
I'm
plunderin' and pillagin', and bringin' yer house down.
I'm
holdin' out me hand and brandishin' me sword
Carryin'
on like a Pirate, and dancin' on the boards.
I'm
grabbin' all yer booty, and chasin' all yer wenches
I
ain't just watchin' you, I got some bad intentions.
I'm
a Susquehanna Pirate, oh yes I arrrrrr!
I've
never sailed the open seas
I
came here in a car.
Come
on, Give it up! GIVE IT UP!
I'm
comin' for yer gold
Come
on, Give it up! GIVE IT UP!
Before
we all get old!
Sure!
I wear an eye patch and a tri-corn hat,
Yer
lookin' at 'em funny, but HEY, I'm not like THAT!
I'll
whisk ye off to sea on a par-tee-ful night,
We'll
feast 'til we drop, then have another pint
Yer
grinnin' at me feathered hat and me ruffled shirt
Go
easy on that matey, they're me pirate perks!
I'm
here for yer booty, or press you into service
I'm a river Pirate, who's gonna make ye nervous
Grabbin' all yer booty, and chasin' all yer wenches
I
ain't just watchin' you, I got some bad intentions.
I'm
Susquehanna pirate, oh yes I arrrrrr.
I've
never sailed the open sea,
I
came here in me car
Come
on, GIVE IT UP! GIVE IT UP!
I've
come here for yer gold.
Come
on, GIVE IT UP! GIVE IT UP!
Before
we all get old.
Come
on! GIVE IT UP! GIVE IT UP!
I'm
commin’ for yer gold.
Come
on! GIVE IT UP! GIVE IT UP!
Before
we all get old.
NOTE: This started out as a theme song for a club. Rejected by that group, it evolved into a song about one person's care-free spirit, and penchant for piratical good times. You can request the guitar chords, by using the 'comment' feature of this blog.
For your viewing pleasure, two arrangements of the original song are available on YouTube:

I hope you enjoy it! Arrrrrgh!
