Gather weary travelers, I have a tale to tell
It might just save yourlives but only if you listen well
'Cause there before the breakers and just around the way
There's a sign that says, "Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"

Some say he's a guppy a kind threw in the sea. He ate so
Many sailors now he's bigger than a tree. His teeth are sharp
As scissors his claws, they are like knives. And if you think
He's ugly, wait 'til you see his insides!

Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd
Better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast
Of Pirate's Bay!"

Some say he's a serpent that came straight from hell to eat
The souls of pirates and other ne'er-do-wells. Some they
Don't believe it as for me I've got a hunch. 'Cause they used
To have some pirates here. But he ate them all for lunch

Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd
Better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast
Of Pirate's Bay!"
Well, good ol' Captain Rhubarb, he came to Pirate's Bay
Seems his little Trobble had nearly got away
He reached into the water to grab it from the sand. There was
A crunch and a scream! And now that scurvy Captain's got hooks
On both his hands!

Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd
Better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast
Of Pirate's Bay!"

Well, Blackberry the Pirate, you know for what he's feared
It's mostly for the dark, imposing color of his beard. He saw
The beast and now nobody's scared of him because, his beard
Turned white and all agree, he looks like Santa Claus

Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly
Don't you swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up
Inside of him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd
Better stay away. Heed the sign that says "Beware The Beast
Of Pirate's Bay!"

Well, now Yulgar's inn is empty and there's only you and me
And if you care I'd like to share how this song came to be
So come a little closer if you really want to know. This very
Sad and woeful tale happened so long ago
Well, I was just a little boy when I went to Pirate's Bay and
There I saw a creature that was very much dismayed
With a harpoon in his dorsal fin and a hook stuck in his side
This mighty whale was in such pain, we both began to cry

I pushed and I shoved but he wouldn't give way into the
Deeper waters off our shallow Pirate's Bay. All I could do
To help him was to keep people away, so I wrote a sign that
Said, "Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!" And what did it say?

Oh, don't you sail and don't you row and certainly don't you
Swim, 'cause if you aren't careful you'll end up inside of
Him. He'll eat you up, he'll spit you out. You'd better stay
Away. Heed the sign that says "Beware!. Hell I should know
I put it there!
Heed the sign that says, "Beware The Beast of Pirate's Bay!"
