I once knew a pirate named Bob
B O B, Bob was a drunken old slob
But Bob made it to the top
I once knew a pirate named Bob
B O B, Bob was a drunken old slob
B O B, Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock
But Bob, he made it to the top
He said, "You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons
And I'll have my limes"
"Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine"
He said, "I'd rather make love
Than have a war
I rather make millions
Than to ever be poor"
"I'd rather be happy
Than to have anymore
Guess I'm a little tangled in a vine"
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons
And I'll have my limes
Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
I'll swing from mine
Now, you swing from your tree
And I'll swing from my tree
And we'll all be happy sometimes
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from my tree
We'll all be happy sometimes
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons
And I'll have my limes
Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your whiskey
And I'll drink my wine
You save your dollar
And I'll spend my dime
You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
We'll all be happy sometimes
And we'll all be happy sometimes
