[Verse 1]
AmCGDm
I once knew a pirate named Bob,
AmCGDm
B-O-B, Bob was a drunken old slob,
AmCGDm
B-O-B, Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock,
AmCGDm (Am)
but Bob, he made it to the [Interlude] top.

He said, "You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine,

you swing from your tree and I'll swing from [Interlude] mine".

[Verse 2]
AmCGDm
He said, "I'd rather make love than have a war,
AmCGDm
I rather make millions than to ever be poor".
AmCGDm
"I'd rather be happy than to have anymore,
AmCGDm

you have your lemons and I'll have my limes".

AmCGDm
Now, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from my tree
AmCGDm
and we'll all be happy sometimes.
AmCGDm
You swing from your tree and I'll swing from my tree,
AmCGDm
we'll all be happy sometimes.

[Ending]
AmCGDm
You have your whiskey and I'll drink my wine,
AmCGDm
you save your dollar and I'll spend my dime.
AmCGDm
You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine.

We'll all be happy sometimes

and we'll all be happy sometimes
