Sung to the tune of "what shall we do with a drunken sailer"
On a snowy winter's day My careers adviser called to say "have you thought how you will make your way, in the real world?
What about the role of a pirate captain? Better than a cook or an S.E.N, and there is a chance that sometime when, you'll get to see some treasure.
You will need a beard and a lad called 'Jim', the health plan doesn't cover loss of limb, you'll have to put your scruples in the bin, to be a pirate captain"
I said, "I'm not too sure I'll have a think, I'm not yet old enough to drink, the only boat I've sailed did sink, I'm not sure that it's 'me'.
I get sea-sick in a car, I've never travelled very far, I'm not a salty seaside tar I'm thinking more of teaching.
(Chorus) Ooh ray a pirate captain, Probably won't have a very long life-span, But they usually keep a tan, and a talking parrot.
"well there are a lot of applicants, and some of them are from Penzance, there might not be another chance, to be a pirate captain"
(Chorus)
"thanks very much, I'll let you know, my mum's made tea I'll have to go, I would like a parrot- although, my answers' likely 'no'"
(chorus).
