There's a pirate, known to fame |
|
Black Macocco was the Pirate's name |
|
In his day, the tops was he |
|
Round the Caribbean or Caribbean Sea |
|
When he sites a clipper ship |
|
Mack would board her and begin to clip |
|
First he'd grab, the ladies fair |
|
Especially those with jewels, |
|
Those with jewels to spare! |
|
Especially those with jewels, |
|
Those with jewels to spare. |
|
Especially those with jewels, |
|
Especially those with jewels, |
|
Those with jewels to spare! |
|
With his ladies and his loot, |
|
Next Macocco from the ship would scoot |
|
Then he'd set the ship afire...what a pretty funeral |
|
Funeral pyre! |
|
Mack the Black, what a pretty funeral, |
|
Mack the Black, marvelous funeral pyre! |
|
Though the years this black Macocco |
|
Lead his pirate reign |
|
His claim to fame was as black as his name |
|
All around the Spanish Maine. |
|
When he'd a make his daily rounds |
|
Gals would trail him like a pack of hounds |
|
Ev'ry night he'd have a date Ladies go to pieces, |
|
Over Pieces of eight. |
|
Hey! |
|
Sleep my baby, baby sleep |
|
Time for babe to be in slumber deep |
|
If you wake or cry or laugh |
|
Mack the Black will whack ya |
|
And he'll whack ya in half! |
|
Mack the black will really whack |
|
Mack the black will whack ya! |
|
Mack the black would really have to |
|
Whack ya in half! |
|
Mack the Black will really whack ya, |
|
Mack the Black will whack ya! |
|
Mack the black will whack ya |
|
And he'll whack ya! |
|
Aaaaaah! Mack was ruthless, |
|
Mack was feared |
|
Perhaps it's better that he disappeared |
|
Yet I know, that he was bad |
|
I could fall in love with, |
|
Fall in love with the lad! |
|
Evening star, if you see Mack |
|
Stop his wanderings and guide him back |
|
I'll be waiting, patiently |
|
By the Caribbean or Caribbean Sea. |
|
Is that the Caribbean Sea? |
|
And if I met this famous pirate |
|
Met him face to face |
|
You think I'd run and hide my head |
|
And scream around the place |
|
Why no I'd just sashay around |
|
Displaying all my charms |
|
And soon I'd have him walk the plank |
|
Right into my arms |
|
That's what I think of Mack the Black Macocco! |
