Jolly Roger Lyrics - Adam And The Ants

In days of old, when ships were bold 

Just like the men who sailed them 

And if they showed us dis-respect 

We'd tie them up and flail them 

Often men of low degree 

And often men of steel 

They make you walk the plank alone 

Or haul you 'round the keel 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

It's your money that we want 

And your money we shall have! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

It's your money that we want 

And your money we shall have! 

Of all the pirates on the seas 

The worst of them was Blackbeard 

So damnable a beast from Hell 

He was the one they most feared 

Any man who sailed with him 

Was taking quite a chance 

He'd hang them from the gallows 

Just to see if they could dance ha,ha! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

It's your money that we want 

And your money we shall have! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

Hoist the Jolly Roger! 

It's your money that we want 

And your money we shall have!
