Butterscotch Rum

La lah

‘Neath blue buttermilk skies o’ pep o’ mint pies
we sail ‘de suds silly o’ cheese.
Won’t you wiggle my toes my ‘lil butterbean nose
for‘tis de’ pirate’s life fo’ me.

Sailin’ cin o’ mon toast ‘long dat butternut coast
cheese doodle dip fontainebleau.
Whilest whales’ whistle tales of snail’s silver sails
ou’ boats ‘cross de’ oyster’s stew.

Tra la lah

Hey hidey ho hum pass ‘round de’ butterscotch rum
teas o’ twiddle de’ wink tee hee,
fee fiddly fo’ thumb by Jolly Roger let’s git dumb
‘tis de’ pirate’s life fo’ me.

La lah

‘Pon castle sand beaches o’ pearl onions o’ peaches
weigh we anchor ou’ spoils to boon.
‘Tis treasures we berries o’ chip chocolate cherries
by de’ light o’ de’ pumpkin moon.

An’star shells sea shine n' 'eavens blueberry wine o’
mulberry waves o’ chocolate quiche.
Aye de’ oceans ou’ homme 'pon ‘de waves we roam
dat if I ‘ad only one wish would it be

Tra la lah

Hey hidey ho hum pass ‘round de’ butterscotch rum
teas o’ twiddle de’ wink tee hee,
fee fiddly fo’ thumb by Jolly Roger let’s git dumb
‘tis de’ pirate’s life fo’ me.

- Arrrrr.
