I heard Davey Crockett had a pint in his pocket
Good whiskey at the Alamo
Now I'll bet Pancho Villa had a jug of Tequila
When he walked the streets of old Mexico

While Blackbeard was fleecing around the hurricane season
He didn't quit because of a girl
Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

While Russia was brawling, I'll bet that Old Stalin
Was calling for a vodka martini
While the world laid in fear, Old Hitler drank beer
From a stein, eating sauerkraut and weenies

Yeah, down through the ages, as they turned through the pages
They couldn't drink their diamonds and pearls
No, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

I ain't getting much done but I'm having fun
Sailing on the deep blue sea
My whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum
And the sun sinking down on me

My catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libre
Chasin' down a 12 oz curl
Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

I ain't getting much done but I'm having fun
Sailing on the deep blue sea
My whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum
And the sun sinking down on me

My catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libre
Chasin' down a 12 oz curl
Yeah, rum is the reason I guess...
Hey, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

Take it home Coral Reefers, hahaha...
Woo!
Yeah
