JULIA RICH
Song: "The Pirate"
juliarichmusic.com
Transcribed by Kate

"If I were a piece of gold... hidden in a treasure hold
sailing through seas of crashing thunder
I'd consider nothing finer... than a pirate with eyeliner
overtaking me for purposes of plunder

Nutty about caviar... black pearls in a silver jar
be they osetra or sevruga
but I find more fascination... packed in his pronunciation
when he wraps his salty lips around "Tortuga"

I steer clear of the cutting edge
I'm not hip to what's hep
but I can savvy Johnny Depp

Midnight on a tropic beach... moonlight on his golden teeth
me and the scallywag, marooned
just a little rum'll do us... sends a little fire through us
pretty soon the moment's headed straight towards opportune

I steer clear of the cutting edge
I'm not hip to what's hep
but I can savvy Johnny Depp"
