Lyrics

Listen children, hear this story That will take you around the world: In the belly of the vessels Stowed away nine pirate girls Nine Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) One named Polly had a parrot The second named Polly had a parrot, too That's the part that is confusing And they were identical twins The third was Nancy, she was fancy Walked around with a fake tattoo And four through nine were all named Peggy And each one only wore one shoe Nine Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) Legend grew about their daring Never did they walk the plank They all shared one golden earring And the truth is they all stank If you finished all your homework Brushed your teeth, and done your chores And it's not too past your bedtime Then your folks might tell you more of the Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)
