“Ahoy! All Hands hoay!”
Ahoy! All hands hoay!
Avast! Me hearties! Hye the Coxwain!
Let ‘er slip, aye she rides! Scuttlin’ t’ward the lighthouse.
Arrgh!!! Hornswaggled!!! that lily livered landlubber. HAR!!!
“Cap! We done it!”
“That we did lad. That we did! Arrgh!”
“Now hoist the sails! Sing me hearties!
Skimmed our Sandy, right by the Ocean Ride!
So, heave ho! Buckos!
Rough waters and a full moon ta sail with!
Golden skies blood red seas
Hoist the sails! Arrgh! Jolly Roger!!!!!
Roll the Hogshead! Drink up! Aye!!!
We got a full moon, we’re full gale!
Yee’ll get yer share a loot,
Aye!!!!!!, Carousers!
@J.E.Goldie
Hornswaggled = to cheat, swindle
Hogshead = Barrel of Rum
Avast ye! – Stop you!; pay attention!
