National Talk Like A Pirate Day

This is my song, don't sing along

It's opinions disarrayed of might are drooped

And like good men, I am disabled

From understanding what we are taught not to condemn



In the kingdoms of the well and of the sick

And the hours that it took to think of this

And the road that got the best of you one day

Can you see at all?



Somehow I knew this wasn't it

Somehow I knew that we will see this to fruition

They said I was a ditsy housewife

And I have the crude opinions of unpracticed men



In my pajamas I still hold my record player

There's a hockey game on the table by the chair

And when it rains your hair begins to curl

Come the winds of dawn



Without your eye patch and your parrot

I've been informed it's national talk like a pirate day

Perhaps this singing is a refuge

From other equally uncomfortable thoughts



And you disregard the clock that's on the wall

It's a wonder you can disregard at all

You just try to find a softer way to fall

Back into my arms



Now he thought he was a citizen

But only in the vaguest sort of way

And we will take it to the people

And the people will then take it all away



With our pencils we are righteous and we're rough

And you wonder when your education starts

And you wipe your nose upon your pretty sleeve

And then you leave



I think we better call a cab

'Cause our thirst for this has made these keys no use

And I remember our last kiss

And I'll remember all the others from now on



Until it's time to sing this song over my grave

Like the boy who just forgets the mourning sheep

Or the girl who gets the hound dog to behave

I will sing to you
