[Verse 1]

Open season on the open seas

And the captain says, "No prisoners, please"

Skull and crossbones on a background of black

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back

[Chorus 1]

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back

Very simple plan of attack

It's our job and a labor of love

Take it home to the up above

We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back

Very simple statement of fact

Call it pillage or call it plunder

We're takin' it back from them boys down under

[Chorus 2]

Hit us hard, took our treasure

That was the worst thing they could do

It will be our great pleasure

To take it back from that Captain Kangaroo

Yo ho ho and a bottle of suds

It's a pirate's fight we choose

No, we don't want a bucket of blood

Just a cup is all we could use, just a cup

[Verse 2]

The sails are up and the bets are down

Let's lighten up this harbor town

By hook or crook or new design

We're streakin' for that finish line

[Chorus 1]

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back

Very simple plan of attack

It's our job and a labor of love

Take it home to the up above

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back

Very simple statement of fact

Call it pillage or call it plunder

We're takin' it back from them boys down under

[Bridge]

We ask ourselves when we get in a fix

What would Popeye do in a tight spot like this?

He'd race for his true love and easily win it

In an old spinach can with a mast stuck in it

[Outro]

Lift us up, take us high

Time to let our spirits fly

Lift us up, take us high

Let us sail until we die

Lift us up, take us high

Let us float above the foam

Let our sails fill the sky

We are takin' our sweet treasure home

Take it back

We're takin' it back

Take it back
