My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire
They lust a traitor in our midst
Who haven't vote the captain's ire
He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
So first let's have a little fun
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw it overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But boy he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine up on his flesh
And davie jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go
And first lets tie him to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
To tell a truth most dire
They lust a traitor in our midst
Who haven't vote the captain's ire
He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun
But I am not an evil man
So first let's have a little fun
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw it overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But boy he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine up on his flesh
And davie jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat

And first lets tie him to a rope
And throw him overboard

A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope

Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho

My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most dire,
There lies a traitor in our midst
Who has invoked the captain's ire
He don't deserve no mercy
We ought to shoot him with a gun,
But I am not an evil man
So first lets have a little fun
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But for them he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine up on his flesh
And Davie Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw him overboard
Drag him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, and we'll send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
Keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho
