Is it because I'm a pirate?      Now I've done a string of horrible things   Like murdering, pillaging and theft   I've looted the junks in the Straits of Malacca   Put Spanish explorers to death   But prejudice would be the ugliest thing   For a waitress so lovely to feel      Is it because I'm a pirate   You seem to have cancelled our date?   And is it because I'm a pirate   That now it's a quarter to eight?   Your prejudice turns you against me   But I am prepared to wait      "I like your eyepatch!" Who said that?   I took in your waist then your face   Floating above me, pouring out tea   In some Nakameguro place   And though it was rude to the girl I was with   I asked if you'd go for a date   And then when you said you'd be happy to meet   I dreamed of your breasts and your face      Is it because I'm a pirate   You seem to have cancelled our date?   Your prejudice turned you against me   And now it's a quarter past eight   A stereotype would be ugly   For someone so lovely to propagate      Of course I am wanted by customs officials   Of course I'm an international fugitive   When not slitting throats of the people in boats   I am kind and surprisingly sensitive   Set your mind free, as I know you can   One day you may see me as just another man      Is it because I'm a pirate   I seem to be stood up again?   And is it because I'm a pirate   It's already quarter to ten?   Life is too short, I am too great   For a waitress so lovely to hate   But I am prepared to wait
