The Pirate King: Elizabeth's Song

My POTC parody of the pirate king song (Oh better far to live and die) from Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. Based on the plot of AWE, so if you haven't seen the movie….

If you are not familiar with the tune, you can find a midi online. Just google "oh better far to live and die lyrics" and I think the first page has a midi file and the original lyrics.

(parts in parentheses are sung by the chorus)

Jack Sparrow first appointed me

And now I am the king, you see.

Yet, sorrowfully I play my part

For in a chest is my husband's heart.

But ten years hence to me he'll hie.

Together we will live and die.

And still this song I'll proudly sing

And live and die a pirate king!

----------

For I am a pirate king!

And it is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate king!

For I am a pirate king!

(She is, hurrah for the pirate king!)

And it is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate king.

(It is. Hurrah for the pirate king! Hurrah for the pirate king!)

----------

The pirate lord of Singapore

Appointed me his successor

Barbossa did, in hope of peace

Calypso from her bonds release.

But later on, we won the fight

Against Lord Beckett in all his might.

So now he's dead as dead can be.

The pirate lords will rule the sea!

----------

For I am a pirate king!

And it is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate king!

For I am a pirate king!

(She is, hurrah for the pirate king!)

And it is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate king.

(It is. Hurrah for the pirate king! Hurrah for the pirate king!)
