Lyrics[]
I am the Captain Jeremiah
I'm the Captain's only crew
And it's understood
I'm not meant to be good
I try to be so mean
You're very, very nice
Yes, you are nice as spice
Yet you try to be so mean
I can parry with my sword
I can jig while on board
And steal some treasure
I can break a maiden's heart
She will weep when we part
And I'm never, never nice at all!
What never?
No, never!
What, never?
Hardly ever!
He's hardly ever nice at all!
I'll give three cheers and one cheer more
For the not so nasty Jeremiah
I'll give three cheers and one cheer more
For the not so nasty Jeremiah
I do what I can to be so mean
Oh the meanest ever seen
And yet it makes ever seen
That I'm not really so bad
I'm not a not so mean pirate
And yet it makes him so bad
That he's not really bad
He's a not so mean pirate
I can parry with my sword
I can jig while on board
And steal some treasure
I can break a maiden's heart
She will weep when we part
And I'm never, never nice at all!
What never?
No, never!
What, never?
Hardly ever!
He's hardly ever nice at all!
I'll give three cheers and one cheer more
For the not so nasty Jeremiah
I'll give three cheers and one cheer more
For the not so nasty Jeremiah
