Description
Haven't posted anything for a while - this is one of the songs for a Xmas panto I was asked to compose for. It's a young kid's thing, with lyrics purposely simple and repetitive so they can learn it quickly, but I was quite happy with the way it turned out and the theatre company were pleased, so I thought I'd share.

Lyrics
INTRO:
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Hey diddle dee it'a a pirate's life for me
We sail our ship across the wavy sea
We dance and we jig as happy as can be
Climb up to the crows nest to see what we can see
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Hey diddle dee it'a a pirate's life for me
We sail our ship across the wavy sea
We dance and we jig as happy as can be
Climb up to the crows nest to see what we can see
Shiver me timbers
Bless my soul
Forward to the mis-ship
There she blows!
Portside (tsch) Starboard (tsch)
Up to the crow's nest and off the poop deck
Go OO! Go ARRRGH!
And pieces of eght, pieces of eight
I hope my dingy don't deflate!
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Hey diddle dee it'a a pirate's life for me
We sail our ship across the wavy sea
We dance and we jig as happy as can be
Climb up to the crows nest to see what we can see
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Hey diddle dee it'a a pirate's life for me
We sail our ship across the wavy sea
We dance and we jig as happy as can be
Climb up to the crows nest to see what we can see
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Hey diddle dee it'a a pirate's life for me
We sail our ship across the wavy sea
We dance and we jig as happy as can be
Climb up to the crows nest to see what we can see
Shiver me timbers
Bless my soul
Forward to the mis-ship
There she blows!
Portside (tsch) Starboard (tsch)
Up to the crow's nest and off the poop deck
Go OO! Go ARRRGH!
And pieces of eght, pieces of eight
I hope my dingy don't deflate!
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row
Hey diddle dee it'a a pirate's life for me
We sail our ship across the wavy sea
We dance and we jig as happy as can be
Climb up to the crows nest to see what we can see
Yo ho row row
Yo ho row row

I love all the extras, the ahs and sound effects. I could have used a louder vocal, more ale, more water in the face, but a great tune full of fun. (What is "Xmas panto" short for? Christmas pantaloons?)
