Moes Haven: Lyrics/Clips/MP3s

Baby Pirate

(The Spoiled Chefs)
Take a three-foot ship made out of driftwood
Wanna sail it on the ocean
Email address on the side
So whoever finds it
Can write back and tell us where it sailed to
Like a message in a bottle
First I've got to go and find it a captain

So I rummaged through the old toy chest
There's a bald and naked old doll
Beat up and forgotten
No one will miss him

Gave him a peg leg and an eye patch and he's ready to go
My baby pirate
My baby pirate
My baby pirate is ready to set sail

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

And then my little, little niece, she appears
And then her little, little eyes they fill with tears
She says, "What have you done to my doll?"

My baby pirate
My baby pirate
My baby pirate is never leaving shore

Now the wind's been taken out of our sails
She's a-crying and a-screaming
And we've got to explain ourselves to her mother
I swear that she never would have missed him
And he'd rather be a-sailing
Instead of stuck inside the toy chest
Safe but forgotten

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
