Deposit Pirates

Sailing the alley, black scarf round my head

My old shopping trolley heels close to the wind

Limping the gutter on my wooden limb

Smelling of whisky, rum, beer and gin

I hunt for treasures

Wherever treasures may be found

Don't look for diamonds

There's a greater prize just lying around

Approaching the waste bin, my hook held up high

I'll board this vessel if I live or die

To get all those bottles treasured within

The waste dump sounds with my battle-cry:

[Chorus]

Deposit Pirates at bay!

Deliver your empties and pray!

Fight for your flasks, fight for your cans

Deposit Pirates at bay!

Fight for your flasks, fight for your cans

Deliver your empties and pray!

Kissing my brides at the Kiosks around

I lift my eye-patch, twinkling steal their refunds

My jolly roger's crossed bottles and jar

Winds toss my black wig, I must go on

I hunt for treasures

Wherever treasures may be found

Don't look for diamonds

There's a greater prize just lying around

[Chorus]

Deposit Pirates at bay!

Deliver your empties and pray!

Fight for your flasks, fight for your cans

Deposit Pirates at bay!

Fight for your flasks, fight for your cans

Deliver your empties and pray!

The conquest is over, the sun's hanging low

I sail with the tide: now I've got to go

My chauffeur picks me up in my limousine

I'm master, commander, fund-saver and mean

[Chorus]

Deposit Pirates at bay!

Deliver your empties and pray!

Fight for your flasks, fight for your cans

Deposit Pirates at bay!

Fight for your flasks, fight for your cans

Deliver your empties and pray!
