Composta da Xavier Atencio e George Bruns nel 1967 per la giostra disneyana Pirates of the Caribbeans, dopo il grande successo del film con Johnny Depp e Orlando Bloom la canzoncina è diventata la più fischiettata dell'estate americana. E' la giovanissima attrice Lucinda Dryzek (l'Elisabeth Swann bambina) che la canta nella scena iniziale del film.

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 ravage 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 hijack.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We kindle and char, inflame and ignite.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

We burn up the city, we're really a fright.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We're rascals, scoundrels, villans and knaves.

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs!

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We're beggars and blighters 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!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.
