I’ll MEET YOU ON THE POOP DECK FROM “BE A PIRATE!” WORDS AND MUSIC BY THOM MESROBIAN COPYRIGHT 2020 ROGUE STAGE, LLC I remember the day I was sailing the cape When we saw three ships a closing Blacker than night me heart full with fright For our little ship they had chosen To sink us and strip us of all of our gold And send us to the locker Our powder was wet, from ice cold sweat And the captains off his rocker He said: Shiver me timbers and blow the man down I’ll meet you on the poop deck Take hold of your booty, We don’t want to drown I’ll meet you on the poop deck Pick up your peg legs and move your doubloons And I’ll meet you on the poop deck Old Davy Jones is calling us home I’ll meet you on the poop deck We hoped he’d see reason but he charged us with treason When we said the ship was sinking He called us mad cowardly scaly wags For our wretched stinking thinking The cannons hit hard soon the ships hull was scared The crew was screaming and crying That’s when the captain repeated his daft plan And told us to start climbing He said.... Shiver me timbers and blow the man down I’ll meet you on the poop deck Take hold of your booty, We don’t want to drown I’ll meet you on the poop deck Pick up your peg legs and move your doubloons And I’ll meet you on the poop deck Old Davy Jones is calling us home I’ll meet you on the poop deck Well as it happens the plan of our captain Was not a very good one For when the ship sinks it’s a great fool that thinks There’s some place that you can run As our captain soon found there’s no high ground When sinking’s your only option What was once on the top has gone belly up and the poop decks on the bottom. He said.... Shiver me timbers and blow the man down I’ll meet you on the poop deck Take hold of your booty, We don’t want to drown I’ll meet you on the poop deck Pick up your peg legs and move your doubloons And I’ll meet you on the poop deck Old Davy Jones is calling us home I’ll meet you on the poop deck

Ballad of BlackHeart Bart Music and Lyrics By Thom Mesrobian Copyright 2022 Rogue Stage LLC Am Em Am Dm G Am 2X Am Em Am Em Here tell the story far and wide of a creature not a man Dm G Am Who cursed the sea by sailing it and with his evil hand Dm G Am Gathered all the lazy jacks and swashers of the land Am Em Am The admiral of the Black was he and all he touched was damned Am Em Am Em His first voyage upon the waves was fouler than his breath/He Sailed from Dm G Am Scotland in a baldie and yet he was a threat Dm G Am By Hisself he fought a ship and and oh they were mismatched Am Em Am Any picaroon who wouldn’t kneel would dance with old Jack Ketch. Dm G Am Show a leg all ye Jack Tar’s prepare for Dover's cliffs Dm G Am Bring a spring upon her cable and watch the boom about Dm G Am Mind that there rip rap, Helmsman how’s your head C G Am For the sea belongs to Blackheart Bart and soon we’ll all be dead Am Em Am Em We scarcely dare to speak his name in whispers all ahush Dm G Am But history will proclaim his deeds and all of those he’s crushed Dm G Am The buccaneer who ruled with fear and ripped the sea apart Am Em Am The scum of Scotland vile and mean the one named black heart bart Dm G Am Show a leg all ye Jack Tar’s prepare for Dover's cliffs Dm G Am Bring a spring upon her cable and watch the boom about Dm G Am Mind that there rip rap, Helmsman how’s your head C G Am For the sea belongs to Blackheart Bart and soon we’ll all be dead Am Em Am Em Upon his hand a single ring he’d spin in evil thought Dm G Am A silver skull and crossbones was seen by all he fought Dm G Am With a beard down to his belly and eyes that glowed dark red Am Em Am If you ever saw the devil smile, well you’re as good as dead Am Em Am Em So to you swabs and Buckos, ye pirates of the sea Dm G Am If you’re thinking of deserting or maybe mutiny Dm G Am Scupper that and hard about you’d better change your mind Am Em Am For there never was a man like Bart who swung the cat of nine Dm G Am Show a leg all ye Jack Tar’s prepare for Dover's cliffs Dm G Am Bring a spring upon her cable and watch the boom about Dm G Am Mind that there rip rap, Helmsman how’s your head C G Am For the sea belongs to Blackheart Bart and soon we’ll all be dead
