"Life as a wandering Pirate" comes from Daniel Laubacher's school musical Ray and the Pirates of the lost Cove. It is sung when a group of rather mischievious pirates brag about how they "rule the sea with sword and might and conquer all in every fight..." The music is performed in unison except when a countermelody is added during the last verse. Guitar chord symbols are also included. Percussion instruments (shakers, drum set, bongos, tambourines) can be added to create more atmosphere.
The sheet music comes with a piano accompaniment, vocal line and guitar chords.
SONG TEXT:
Let’s hoist the flag and anchor up,
We’ll sail the winds on high.
We’ll always have the upper hand,
If not then they must die.
When seas are rough, we’ll show we’re tough and never lose our sight.
Our goal’s to win, we won’t give in, we’ll challenge every plight.
Life as a wandering pirate
We’ll rule the sea with sword and might
We conquer all in every fight.
Our world’s the ocean, once we’re in motion
No one dares to cross our way.
Let's hoist the flag and anchor up,
We’ll sail the winds on high.
We’ll always have the upper hand,
If not then they must die.
When seas are rough,
We’ll show we’re tough And never lose our sight.
Our goal’s to win, we won’t give in,
We’ll challenge every plight.
Life as a wandering pirate
We’ll rule the sea with sword and might
We conquer all in every fight.
Our world’s the ocean, once we’re in motion
No one dares to cross our way.
We’ve roamed the seas for many years, our home’s below the deck.
Let’s sail to South America,
Or sleep, ah, what the heck!
We make our plans from day to day,
Or make no plan at all.
Important is we’re free as birds, and never take a fall.
Life as a wandering pirate
We’ll rule the sea with sword and might
We conquer all in every fight.
Our world’s the ocean, once we’re in motion
No one dares to cross our way.
