Jack's Bride

The seas turned cold.

The sky went black.

And wenches, they broke down and cried.

The dogs, they yowled.

And time stood still.

For Jack Sparrow's taken a bride.

The dark tide ebbed,

Seagulls mewed low,

Has Captain Jack Sparrow no pride?

His whoring's done.

His freedom's gone,

For Jack Sparrow's taken a bride.

Who is this lass,

Who tamed the beast?

Who strolls down the street side by side?

Sloe eyes, wide smile,

No-nonsense walk

Yes, Jack Sparrow's taken a bride.

Quarterdeck King,

Number one man,

A pirate who cheated and lied.

There he was once,

But that's now done,

For Jack Sparrow's taken a bride.

It's "Honey, do this,"

"Don't dare do that!"

When ordered, he meekly complied.

Dinner at six,

"Please change your shirt!"

Poor Jack Sparrow's taken a bride.

His sword is rust

His swagger's gone.

He's dried up on the inside.

His daring do

Don't no more.

Poor Jack Sparrow's taken a bride.

So listen, lads.

Beware; take care.

Here's fact that can't be denied.

Love if you must,

But then sail off,

And don't ever take you a bride.
