This is a motivational speech delivered by me at the very first rehearsal of Ram's Head Lady Slipper The Band. I really whipped my bandmates into a frenzy that night. You could tell by their spittled cries and desperate gesticulations, they were ready to follow me to the darkest corners of creation. And now, here we find ourselves.
lyrics
Blackbeard
The jolly roger proudly flying on
Queen Anne’s Revenge with forty guns
Adventure and The Ranger following
Three brace of pistols a mug of rum
We’re surely keener and surely madder than
Woodes Rogers’ men ‘o war
We’ve outrun ‘em time and time again
And still we shall forever more
Yo-ho, ho! Yo ho-ho!
Point the prow at New Providence
We’ll make that Island roll like the ocean
With our sweet Madiera wine
Yo-ho, ho! Yo ho-ho!
Davie Jones is an old friend of mine
Tip up your mug and drain it heartily
Queen Anne’s Revenge will have her way
When I command you‘re gonna follow me
We’re taking over Charleston Bay
From now on you call me Commodore
Cause my flotilla is very large
We’ve got a good fifty guns or more
And now we make our bloody charge
