Every pirate was the same
We could not wait for climate change
The seas would swallow all the landWe′d cheer and raise our hooks and hands
One day a girl boarded the ship
A Swede heading to a summit
She said you've got the whole thing wrong
Who will you loot when everyone′s gone?
Hi! Ho!
Whats happening on the high seas?
Don't you know?
It's a pirate emergency
Though we are above the law
We all stopped using plastic straws
Straight from the keg we′d drink our rum
Until one day we stumbled upon
The great Atlantic garbage patch
Even looked big with an eye patch
Turns out that we misplaced the threat
The patch was mostly fishing nets
Hi! Ho!
Whats happening on the high seas?
Don′t you know?
It's a pirate emergency
If we saw a fishing boat
We′d try to board and slit their throats
Protecting fish protects the sharks
We want walking the plank to last
Years went by with many dead
Until one day my parrot said
These fisherman are just a victim
Of an economic system
Hi! Ho!
Whats happening on the high seas?
Don't you know?
It′s a pirate emergency
We stayed on land 'til anchors rust
But politics just weren′t for us
It seemed now that all hope was lost
But then we came across Oli Frost
He said just do what you do best
Knowing yourself's a treasure chest
Just write a jaunty sea shanty
To make your point seem less preachy
Hi! Ho!
Whats happening on the high seas?
Don't you know?
It′s a pirate emergency
