Is It Because I'm A Pirate? Songtext

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
