Oh, Better Far to Live and Die Lyrics
Oh, Better Far to Live and Die Song Lyrics
King.
Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I’ll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King.
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
Chorus.
You are!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!
King.
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
Chorus.
It is!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!
King & Chorus.
Hurrah for the/our Pirate King!
King. Darrell Fancourt as the Pirate King
1926
When I sally forth to seek my prey
I help myself in a royal way.
I sink a few more ships, it’s true,
Than a well-bred monarch ought to do;
But many a king on a first-class throne,
If he wants to call his crown his own,
Must manage somehow to get through
More dirty work than ever I do,
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
Chorus.
You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
King.
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
Chorus.
It is!
Hurrah for our Pirate King!
King & Chorus.
Hurrah for the/our Pirate King!

Pirates Of Penzance, The Tracklist
The My Eyes Are Fully Open
I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General
Pour, O Pour the Pirate Sherry
When Frederic Was a Little Lad
When You Had Left Our Pirate Fold
With Cat-Like Tread
Poor Wondering One
All Is Prepared / Stay, Frederic, Stay!
Climbing over Rocky Mountains
Oh! False One, You Have Deceived Me
