About the Artist
Lyrics
The sight of me, the Spaniards must be seasick to the molar I plunder treasure galleons off the shores of Hispaniola And if a ship done caught my eye, I went ahead and stole 'er L'Ollonnais, Chevalier Everybody fears Roasted men like manatee and washed them down with tears I am the cruelest of all Buccaneers Lily-livered land lubbers, I put them to the cutlass The greatest seafarers of lore Wished they'd stayed ashore And studied the atlas We are the Buccaneers of Hispaniola Buccaneers of Hispaniola Tighten up that woolding rope 'til your eye pops out of its socket Hang you upside down and take whatever comes out of your pocket Slice you nice and thin so you fit in your widow's locket I took on the bravest of the brave and gutted them gutless My one-man relentless pursuit Of booty and loot Put the Caribbean on the atlas We are the Buccaneers of Hispaniola Buccaneers of Hispaniola Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, Buccaneers Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, Buccaneers Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, Buccaneers Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, Buccaneers Thank you so much, thank you so much Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Dancing on a Friday night Let the music smother me Whole weekend recovery Dancing on a Friday night I see, while I'm thinking about it One of my friends, Andy Taylor came To see us play in Wembley in 2003, -4 And, I did a guitar solo On the back of a tiger Do you remember that, that too? And he waved at me, and um, and I didn't wave back 'Cause I was in the middle of something So, Andy, where, where are you? I wish to make amends (here!) Where? (Here!) Where? (Here!) Andy! Yes! This is for 2004 Everyone, wave at Andy, he's over near the toilet exit
