Sparrow the Crazy Pirate
Sung to the tune of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Sparrow, the crazy pirate, had a very shiny smile,
And if you ever saw it, you would know he's full of guile.
All of the other pirates used to laugh and call him daft.
They never knew Jack Sparrow was the master of his craft.

Then one foggy summer's eve, Barbossa came to say
Give me my medallion while I blow you all away.

Sparrow, the crazy pirate, had a very lovely ship,
And when again he saw her, he gave the commodore the slip.
Taking a blacksmith with him, picking up a gov'nor's lass
Sparrow, the crazy pirate, set out to kick some ---
(am I allowed to say this in a Christmas carol? Well you know what I mean)

Then one foggy summer's eve, Sparrow came to say,
Give me my Black Pearl while I blow you all away.

Then all the pirates left him, and the navy hanged him—wait just a
bloody minute! Something's gone wrong with this story and the rhyme!

Then Will and Lizbeth saved him,
And he landed in the sea.
Sparrow, the crazy pirate, will go down in history!

Phew! That was a close shave!
