SKULL AND CROSSBONES
SKULL AND CROSSBONES
by
Matt McGinn
Didn’t you see that skull and crossbones?
Didn’t you see that bloodstained hand?
Captain Mammon in control now
Pirate king of a robber band
He set sail to help the rich man
Keep him dressed in the finest silk
Along the way he met some children
Robbed them of their daily milk
Didn’t you see that skull and crossbones?
Didn’t you see that bloodstained hand?
Captain Mammon in control now
Pirate king of a robber band
Over land, he raced for Derby
There they heard his cultured voice
No lame ducks allowed in this land
Took the hatchet to Rolls Royce
Didn’t you see that skull and crossbones?
Didn’t you see that bloodstained hand?
Captain Mammon in control now
Pirate king of a robber band
Six million pounds would've saved the Clyde then
But says he, 'Those yards won't last
And besides, we need that money
Five hundred million for Belfast'
Didn’t you see that skull and crossbones?
Didn’t you see that bloodstained hand?
Captain Mammon in control now
Pirate king of a robber band
Didn’t you see that skull and crossbones?
Didn’t you see that bloodstained hand?
Captain Mammon in control now
Pirate king of a robber band
