Lyrics

Intro

Verse 1

Worms in the hardtack, maggots in the meat,

We scarf 'em down and we stamp our feet.

Puke on the gunwale, We'll puke in your face,

We caught you sleeping in the captain's place.

Pre-Chorus

Step by step on the beam,

Walk the plank 'tis just a dream.

Chorus

Walk the plank, ya scurvy dog!

Into the night!

Beg for mercy, give a scream!

The sharks want a bite.

Post-Chorus

Heave-ho!

(Away you go!)

Heave-ho!

(Away you go!)

Verse 2

Skulls and bones painted on the sail,

A rusted cutlass or a lead-shot flail.

We take what we please wherever we go,

Bound by the code of the black flag we show.

Pre-Chorus

Step by step on the beam,

Walk the plank 'tis just a dream.

Chorus

Walk the plank, ya scurvy dog!

Into the night!

Beg for mercy, give a scream!

The sharks want a bite.

Post-Chorus

Heave-ho!

(Away you go!)

Heave-ho!

(Away you go!)

Bridge

No quarter given, no mercy shown,

Sending you down to the Devil's throne.

The salt-water rises to swallow your dreams,

Now you'll be sleepin' with the devil of the deep.

(DAVY JONES!) DEVIL OF THE DEEP!

(DAVY JONES!) THE BOTTOMS WHERE YOU SLEEP!

Chorus

Walk the plank, ya scurvy dog!

Into the night!

Beg for mercy, give a scream!

The sharks eat good tonight.

Post-Chorus

Heave-ho!

(Down you go!)

Heave-ho!

(Down you go!)
