|
I was born beside a big blue bay |
|
Grew up on the Gulf of Mexico |
|
Dreamed of the islands with Papa Hemingway |
|
And old Errol Flynn was my hero |
|
All I ever wanted was to find you girl |
|
And make love upon the seven seas |
|
But if we never made it around the world |
|
Key West would be all right with me |
|
Pirates and poets and me you see |
|
Are one of a kind |
|
Searching for a treasure like you |
|
And finding the perfect rhyme |
|
Pirates and poets and me believe |
|
In love only when it's it true |
|
And the buccaneer and Shakespeare inside of me |
|
Believe that we're in love with you |
|
Pirates have their silver swords |
|
They can steal your heart away |
|
Poets have their golden words |
|
They can win you with they say |
|
Never knew I had any hero in me |
|
Never found much worth fighting for |
|
Never knew the beauty in poetry |
|
But I'd never loved you before |
|
Pirates and poets and me you see |
|
Are one of a kind |
|
Searching for a treasure like you |
|
And finding the perfect rhyme |
|
Pirates and poets and me believe |
|
In love only when it's it true |
|
And the buccaneer and Shakespeare inside of me |
|
Believe that we're in love with you |
