THE PIRATE CHORUS : Grades 5 and 2

Grade 5 and Grade 2 students will feature as the pirate chorus in "Peter Pan Jr". There are TWO songs they will perform together; "Never Smile at a Crocodile" and "Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me".
Please practice the songs. The Lyrics to "Yo Ho A Pirate's Life for Me" are a bit tricky!

"A PIRATE’S LIFE FOR ME" (Grade 2 and 5 Pirates Chorus)
(PIRATES )Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
We kidnap and pillage and don’t give a hoot.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
We’re rascals and scoundrels and ne’er do well cads.
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!
Aye, but we’re loved by our Mommies and Dads…
Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho!

NEVER SMILE AT A CROCODILE (Pirate Chorus and Hook)

[CAPTAIN HOOK]
Never smile at a crocodile.
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile.
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin.
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin.
[PIRATES]
Never smile at a crocodile.
Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while.
Never walk, run away.
Say “Goodnight,” not “Good day.”
Clear the aisle and never smile at Missus Crocodile.

CAPTAIN HOOK: And, Mr. Smee, you know the deepest fear that gnaws at me?
SMEE: What fear is that, Cap’n?
CAPTAIN HOOK: Someday the clock will run down and the beast will sneak up on me … and crunch and gnash and pulverize… until there’s nothing left of me at all!

[PIRATES]
Never smile at a crocodile.
Or you might get eaten by the crocodile.
Yes, it’s true, take a look.
Now (HIS) hand is a hook!
Clear the aisle and never smile at Missus Crocodile. BEGONE!!!!
