Summary: For the 12 days of Christmas challenge at blackpearlsails. I had hoped the Muse of Art would show up, but what you get is the Zombie Parody Muse! Sing this one to the tune of I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas


* * * * *

I want a tall black pirate ship for Christmas
The Black Pearl is the only ship I want
Don’t want the girl, no clinky Aztec gold
I want my bonnie lady Pearl to sail the world so bold.

I want my ship Barbossa stole, for Christmas.
I don’t think that should be too hard to do.
He has a date with hell that has been too long overdue
I’ll shoot him with his single
Shot and boot him right on through.

I can see me now on Isle de Muerte
Creeping in that cave
Oh what horror and surprises
When Barbossa realizes
That I’ll wreck his plans my ship to save.

I want a tall black pirate ship for Christmas
Only my long lost ship Black Pearl will do
No Interceptor, no Navy Dauntless
I only love the dark ship that I so miss
And my sky chasing Black Pearl loves me too.

I want a tall black pirate ship for Christmas
The Black Pearl is the only ship I want
Norrington says he’ll stretch my neck, but then
Turner says that’s not a fate that’s fit for decent men.

I want a tall black pirate ship for Christmas
I don’t think Norrington will mind, do you?
He won’t have to chase and hang me and my crew.
Just give us one day’s head start,
That’s the sporting thing to do.

I can see me now off Fort Charles high walls
Diving through the air.
O what joy and what surprise
When the water clears my eyes
To see my wondrous Black Pearl sailing there.

I want the freedom of my ship for Christmas
Only a tall black pirate ship will do
No jail cells; no hanging in the wind
I only want horizons that will never ever end
And my Black Pearl wants those horizons, too.
