The Nicest Pirate of them All

\nThe pirates are ready, the flag’s up the mast,
\nThe cannons are loaded, they’re sailing so fast;
\nThe ship they have sighted is loaded with gold,
\nIt’s time for a pirate to prove he is bold,
\nBut everyone’s waiting for brave Tiger Jack,
\nThe biggest and bravest must lead the attack.<\/p>\n
Each man draws his cutlass, they’re ready to board,
\nTo add lots of loot to their well hidden hoard;
\nThe coins made of silver, the rum they can drink,
\nAll taken with care so the ship doesn’t sink.
\nFor everyone knows that he’s kind Tiger Jack,
\nAnd no-one gets hurt when he leads the attack.<\/p>\n
They fire the cannons and bring down the sails,
\nThen swarm through the rigging, this crew never fails,
\nThey round up the sailors, they take what they can,
\nThen say they are sorry to each frightened man.
\nWith thanks for the treasure polite Tiger Jack
\nIs pleased with the spoils from the latest attack.<\/p>\n
Wherever they hunt him across seven seas,
\nThey ask for directions but never say please;
\nHe’s kind to the people who sell him supplies
\nAnd tips every waitress who flutters her eyes,
\nSo no-one will help them to catch Tiger Jack,
\nThey want their kind pirate to always come back!<\/p>\n
