Now that I am old
I score the quayside bar
Got my petticoat, a hook
And a parrot on me shoulder
I’m a pirate bad
I’d never change my ways
I score the punk rock scene
For a fortune made for me
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum, that’s right
Gentlemen I’ve known as I travel to and fro
All the cash I’ve spent on booze
Could have bought the English throne
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
I lost my leg to a cannonball while plundering a ship
The royal captain saw me and she let the big guns rip
So I fell backwards and sadly said goodbye
To my hand, and my foot, and all my mates right behind!
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Now that I am old
I score the quayside bar
Got my petticoat, a hook
And a parrot on me shoulder
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum, go!
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Yee-ha!
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum
Hey, ho, yo
Skinheads and a barrel of rum!
(I'm gonna take ya!)
