[Verse]Sailing through the midnight seaHard beats in the deep dark freeTreasure maps and rum-filled dreamsEchoes of our crazy schemes[Verse 2]Cannon fire and pirate cheersEcho in the waves and yearsPlunder gold we hunt at nightIn the moon's cool silver light[Chorus]Yo ho ho feel the bassIn this wild and stormy chasePirate hearts they beat so fastDrum and bass ‘til the last[Bridge]Raise the sails and ride the tideIn the groove we take our rideStormy weather we don't mindBassline strong and undefined[Verse 3]Parrots squawk and shadows creepSilent night beneath the deepCutthroat crew with hearts so boldIn our veins the music's gold[Chorus]Yo ho ho feel the bassIn this wild and stormy chasePirate hearts they beat so fastDrum and bass ‘til the last
