Bite the Hook Hand That Feeds Lyrics

[00:19.45] I've sailed upon this cursed ship for nigh on fifteen years
[00:24.25] In service of the king's decree, a naval privateer
[00:28.91] I've paid my dues in flesh and blood, and great was the reward
[00:33.43] But this is not the life for me, a fact I can't ignore!
[00:37.87] Come on!
[00:38.82]
[00:57.16] The king commands I wear a hat with corners numbered three!
[01:01.65] He says it is befitting of the rank bestowed on me!
[01:06.31] And when I lost my arm at sea, he sent forth a demand
[01:11.07] That I should get a hook of steel where once I had a hand
[01:15.80] I told him he could stick that hook
[01:18.19] Right where the sun don't shine!
[01:20.47] I stumbled to the nearest bar
[01:22.99] And got real drunk on wine!
[01:25.07] Set sail (set sail), land ho (land ho)
[01:27.42] Drink rum, let's go!
[01:29.92] Over the oceans and over the seas
[01:32.37] Bite through the iron 'til flesh starts to bleed!
[01:34.46] Set sail (set sail), land ho (land ho)
[01:36.84] Drink rum, let's go!
[01:39.36] Over the oceans and over the seas
[01:41.42] We're biting the hook hand that feeds!
[01:44.15]
[01:51.66] We bite the hook that feeds!
[01:54.94]
[02:03.89] Last summer I was summoned for an audience with my liege
[02:08.56] But when he saw I came by horse, his highness was displeased
[02:13.06] "Where is your mighty pirate ship? Why aren't you drinking rum?"
[02:17.84] 'Twas at this point I finally snapped, and shot him with my gun!
[02:22.64] I've had it with this stupid hat!
[02:24.91] I hate the taste of rum!
[02:27.19] I'm never going back to sea!
[02:29.74] The pirate's life is dumb!
[02:32.10] Set sail (set sail), land ho (land ho)
[02:33.93] Drink rum, let's go!
[02:36.68] Over the oceans and over the seas
[02:39.12] Bite through the iron 'til flesh starts to bleed!
[02:41.57] Set sail, land ho!
[02:43.35] Drink rum, let's go!
[02:45.97] Over the oceans and over the seas
[02:48.42] We're biting the hook hand that feeds!
[02:52.65] Set sail (set sail), land ho (land ho)
[02:56.94] Drink rum, let's go!
[03:01.62] Set sail (set sail), land ho (land ho)
[03:06.54] Drink rum, let's go on a quest!
[03:10.97]
[03:46.41] Set sail (Set sail), land ho (land ho)
[03:49.10] Drink rum, let's go!
[03:51.81] Over the oceans and over the seas!
[03:53.82] Bite through the iron 'til flesh starts to bleed!
[03:56.24] Set sail (Set sail), land ho (land ho)
[03:58.59] Drink rum, let's go!
[04:01.38] Over the oceans and over the seas
[04:03.38] We're biting the hook hand that feeds!
[04:05.85]
