lyrics

Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.

When the boats went out in August,
they rolled from side to side.
And I sat astride my Daddy's knee,
as land was lost to sight.
I imaged I was Pirate born,
with cutlass in my fist.
And as the cannons tore through bow and stern,
and never seemed to miss,
we sang….

Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.
Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.

Two days in, as a Pirate king,
my attention began to roam.
with our bulging hold, full of fish-flesh gold,
we set a course for home.
A sudden wail as a foreign sail,
appeared on starboard side.
I could hear the fear in my Daddy's voice,
when he said that I should hide.
He screamed,

Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.
Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.
Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.
Oh, oh, send up a rescue flare.
