Jimmy Buffett - Take It Back

A song sure to be enjoyed by the Aussies here:

Open season on the open seas.

Captain says, "no prisoners please."

Skull and crossbones on a background of black.

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back.

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back:

Very simple plan of attack.

It's our job and a labor of love:

Take it home to the Up Above.

We ain't stealin', we're just takin' back:

Very simple statement of fact.

Call it pillage, or call it plunder,

We're taking it back from the boys Down Under.

Hit us hard, took our treasure,

That was the worst thing they could do.

It will be our great pleasure

To take it back from that Captain Kangaroo.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of suds,

It's a pirate's fight we choose.

No we don't want a bucket of blood,

Just a cup is all we could use.

Just a cup.

The sails are up and the bets are down.

Let's lighten up this harbor town.

By hook or crook or new design,

We're streakin' for that finish line.

My parents apparently took me when I was a nipper to the 1983 America's Cup race at Newport. I do hope to see another one in Narragansett Bay.
