Lyrics
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Drink and the devil be done for the rest (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) ♪ Well, the mate was fixed by the bosun's pike The bosun brained with a marlinspike And cookey's throat was marked belike It had been gripped by fingers ten And there they lay, all good dead men Like break o'day in a boozing ken (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Ten of the crew had the murder mark (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) ♪ Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead Or a yawing hole in a battered head And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes Looking up at paradise All souls bound just contrawise (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) ♪ There was chest on chest of Spanish gold And a ton of plate in the middle hold And the cabins riot of stuff untold And they lay there that took the plum With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb While we shared all by the rule of thumb (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Fifteen men on a dead man's chest (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Fifteen men on a dead man's chest (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Fifteen men on a dead man's chest (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) Fifteen men on a dead man's chest (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) hahaha
