A-rovin' over the sea
Give me a career
As a buccaneer
It's the life of a pirate for me
Oh, the life of a pirate for me"
Ahoy, matey. Have we an earful for ye! Welcome aboard the good ship SOUP! Mind the hatches and hoist the Jolly Roger or you'll be recruited to swab the decks instead. Think you're a landlubber, do ye? Then listen to these chanteys whilst you attach yourself to one of the old salts - er - experienced crew - er - esteemed writers? Yes, that must be it.
For those of you who aren't fluent in Pirate, let me translate - we have some truly fun pirate-themed songs for you to enjoy while you're reading the latest edition of SOUP. We hope you enjoy the music as much as we did!
The format is easy. It's listed in this order: song - artist - SOUPer who submitted the song.
Have fun listening!
