Sea shanty of the ages

[Intro]
Ahoy! Raise the sails, let’s chart the stars tonight
Ha! The storm is our dance floor, the moon our spotlight

[Verse 1]
Set upon the roaring tide, a crew of jolly souls
With a bottle in each hand, we’re out of control
Laughing with the sea breeze, singing tales of lore
Pirates of the midnight waves, craving even more

[Pre-Chorus]
Hoist the jolly roger high, let the music fly
Echoes through the skies, underneath the midnight eye

[Chorus]
Yo-ho, let’s party at sea
Dance on the deck, wild and free
Yo-ho, join the melody
Sailing with mirth and glee

[Verse 2]
Cannons of laughter booming, a sea shanty parade
Footfalls on the planks like the best dance charade
Rum flows like a river, stories turn to cheers
We’re pirates on the night with no doubts or fears

[Pre-Chorus]
Raise your glasses high, to the endless sky
Tonight’s the night we fly, as the stars drift by

[Chorus]
Yo-ho, let’s party at sea
Dance on the deck, wild and free
Yo-ho, join the melody
Sailing with mirth and glee

[Bridge]
Storm or calm, our spirits stay stout
Sing loud, shout out, no doubt
Ever on this wild spree, our hearts are bound
To the melody of the sea's own sound

[Outro]
So here's to the winds, the waves, and the crew
May our lives be as bold and bright, brave and true
Until the dawn, we sing our song, loudly and clear
A pirate’s shanty, for all to hear!
