Pirates say “yo, ho, and a bottle of rum”
What’s a Pirate to sing when Christmas is come?
Ye rattle yer sword and jingle yer bell
Deck all the decks and wish 'em to hell
Yer cohorts and mates are welcome to beer.
The rest of 'em dogs ain't getting' no cheer.
No grog, no grub, and no drinkin' rum.
These pirates 'll not, no never feed scum!
We'll show 'em the 'cat'! Walk ‘em into the sea
Grab our booty ya will? No quarter for ye!
Pirates sing “yo, ho, and a bottle of rum”
Time to dance on the deck. Christmas is come!
So sing “Jingle Bells” and “Oh Holy Night”.
Keep yer pint of rum in yer hand real right.
It's Christmas under the bones and the skull,
Honor yer mates at the Holiday lull.
Now we'll sail away in this ship of wood,
The gov'ner 'll catch us if his headin' is good.
We'll binge and frolic in much warmer climes,
No more plunderin', pirates. It's Christmas time!

Put it to music and we'll have a new Christmas Song (after all, the holiday has been pirated ;)
Even though I see the irony of it, I've done just that. I've added a collaborator to pen the melody and adding him as co-writer. Maybe next year the Pirates will have their own Christmas song, after all. Arrrrrrr!!!
