Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Pirate Girls Nine

Listen children, hear this story

That will take you around the world

In the belly of the vessels

Stowed away nine pirate girls

Nine pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

One named Polly had a parrot

The second named Polly had a parrot too

That's the part that is confusing

And they were identical twins

The third was Nancy, she was fancy

Walked around with a fake tattoo

And four through nine were all named Peggy

And each one only wore one shoe

Nine pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

Legend grew about their daring

Never did they walk the plank

They all shared one golden earring

And the truth is they all stank

If you finished all your homework

Brushed your teeth and done your chores

And it's not too past your bedtime

Then your folks might tell you more of the

Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)
