The Black SpotThe black spot is what you getWhen a pirate you upset A decision you'll live to regret But not for too long The black spot awaits all those Double crossing slimy toads Who have contravened the pirate code And done their crew wrong The black spot's a sickening sight Turns your hair completely white If you don't die instantly of fright Heaven help you It's no empty idle threat So pay up your gambling debts Or the 53rd card in the deck Will be dealt to you When you're by the black spot cursed Your blood boils and your veins burst You can drink and drink and still Your thirst is unquenchable You get pustules on your face On your legs, arms, chest and waist You will itch and itch and itch In places unmentionable You're afflicted with the pox Bits of you keep falling off And you get a rather chesty cough Which is never nice You get nosebleeds that won't stop Your extremities all rot Anybody who receives the spot Pays a heavy price Let the black spot be attached To an arrow and dispatched Through the portal or the entry hatch Of his galleon Wish me luck, wave me goodbye No first mate, just me this time Sometimes sorrows come in single spies Not battalions When the black spot he is show He will gasp and he will grown He will scream and go All to pieces And there's much, much worse in store For the pirate who ignored His two sweet adorable nieces You and me, sis |
