Elliot's T-ball team is called the "Golden Pirates." Elliot suggested they could be called the Golden Bald Eagles (my favorite) or the Golden Thunderbirds, but the pirates won by popular vote. At least they're not the Gold Stars. I don't know what it is about pirates, but they really speak to Elliot's generation. Something about living without rules? Just a guess. A Pirate's Life is a catchy tune, the lyrics are innocent and depraved at once.
Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me
we pillage we plunder we rifle we loot
drink up me hearties yo ho
we kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
drink up me hearties yo ho
yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me
we extort we pilfer we filch and sack
we maraud and embezzle and even hijack
yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me
we kindle and char we flame and ignite
drink up me hearties yo ho
we burn up the city we're really a fright
drink up me hardies yo ho
we're rascals and scoundrels and villains and knaves
drink up me hearties yo ho
we're devils and black sheep
we're really bad eggs
drink up me hearties yo ho
we're beggars and blighters and
ne'er-do-well cads
drink up me hearties yo ho
I think we're loved by our mommy's and dad's
drink up me hearties yo ho
yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me
