Listening to the last track of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" soundtrack, the track entitled "He's A Pirate" that starts the end credits, the music just cries out for lyrics.

fleetfootmike thinks that is is horrible and I'm a Philistine for wanting to tamper with perfection, but really, I swear, you can hear the words just waiting to be given expression.
I pulled together some lyrics, some of them liberally borrowed and adapted from the actual Pirates of the Caribbean ride song, "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)" which is also sung briefly in the beginning and end of the movie, and whose lyrics are echoed in some of the dialogue.
Now, get out the soundtrack if you have it, play "He's A Pirate", and see if the song fits. Try to imagine a sea-front tavern, filled with pirates, half of them singing one verse, and the other half returning the next. I leave the judgment in your hands.
