Lyrics
Krewe of Seville
(Argghhhhh. Ahoy Krewe of Seville. Lift up ye mugs and sing)
Straight from the deep blue seas they came
Born of a town which bears their name
Gapsar?s thugs from the south of Spain
Seville!
Sail ho ye mattes the booty is near
Join in the chantey and let out a cheer
Pillage and plunder without any fear
Seville!
(Chorus)
Seville (Seville)
Seville (Seville)
Plenty of rum will spill (Yo Ho)
Pirates and wenches
And treasures of gold
Drink up ye mates
We never grow old.
Seville (Seville)
Seville (Seville)
Pillage and plunder at will (Yo Ho)
Live long and live hearty
We?re bringing the party,
We are the Krewe of Seville! (Seville!)
Hoist up the sails and ready the Krewe
There?s pillaging, looting and grogging to do
Belly up mattes and throw back a few
Seville!
Lift up ye mugs and ready a round
Treasures and trinkits and spirits abound
Better beware when our ship comes aground
Seville!
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
