Pirate Ship Show!

Cover Art produced by Carrie Cook.

Mark your calendars for Friday, April 12th, that’s when Pirate Ship Show drops! Between a Solar Eclipse and Tax Day, it’s going to be crazy, and you’ll need some comic relief. This silly and saucy song about mishaps on a Pirate vessel has a sing-along chorus, funny voices, sound effects, and a sped-up ending. It was recorded with Andre Maquera at West Street Digital. You’ll be able to find it on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Amazon and elsewhere. See the lyrics below.

Pirate Ship Show

By Ronald Roy Carter aka RRR Carter, ©2024 by Ronald Roy Carter, RRR Carter, RRR Sea Music

Are you ready for a show… a show on a Pirate Ship? Are you ready for a show… a show on a Pirate Ship? Are you ready for a show…

 CHORUS: Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship… Show (2x)

The Crew is setting out to sea, but nobody quite knows how

Just raise the anchor up, it’s time to all get down

CHORUS: Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship… Show (2x)

The Cook baked a birthday cake but forgot to bring the punch

We’re still gonna have some fun, ‘cause we’re a funny bunch

CHORUS: Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship… Show (2x)

The Captain fumbles on a fiddle, the First Mate bangs on a drum

Dance to the tune and the beat – dum, de-dum-dum-dum

CHORUS: Instrumental

The Sailor showing her strength – juggling cannonballs

The Navigator makes us laugh as he slips and falls

CHORUS: Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship Show, Pirate Ship… Show (repeat ad nauseum)
