Jack's Gettin' Nothin' For Christmas
To the tune of "I'm Gettin' Nothin' For Christmas"

I gave his girl a corset strip,
Is he upset with me!
I commandeered a Navy ship
Somebody snitched on me.

I shed those chains and broke each link
Let the Interceptor sink
Jumped the walls into the drink
He's right incensed with me.

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
James and the Navy are mad.
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
`Cause I ain't been nothin' but bad.

I always had ten times his style.
Was he upset with me!
I showed up on that treasure isle.
Somebody snitched on me!

I ate an apple from his bowl
Stole a coin and sold my soul
Shot his chest with a great big hole.
He's right irate at me.

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Hector Barbossa is mad
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
`Cause I ain't been nothin' but bad.

I used Will Turner for a bait.
Is she upset with me!
I left that kiss until too late!
Am I upset with me!

I took her hostage on the dock
Told her my stories were just talk
Had her restrained under a lock
She's right outraged at me.

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Elizabeth Swann is mad
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
`Cause I ain't been nothin' but bad.
