Pirates of the Carribbian Parodie
(Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate´s Life for me)

“A pyro drinking song”.

Note: it is best not to drink or sing while shooting fireworks. But when the firing is done. Well, maybe you can do both

Dr. Arthur R. Tilford (words). First heard August 10, 1999. George Bruns (music). First heard December 15, 1973 as Disneyland’s Pirate’s of the Caribbean Theme. Fast tempo (drinking type song)

Yo ho, yo ho, a pyro’s life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite, Light up, me Pyros, yo ho.
We fire up the goodies, we’re really a fright,

Light up, me Pyros, yo ho.

With sulfur and charcoal and Nitre we mix Then ram the mess in a tube,
Slap on a stick and garnish the nose
And prime up the end with a fuse!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pyro’s life for me.

Fountains and wheels and crackers on rails Light up, me Pyros, yo ho.
Mines and Romans and comets with tails
Light up, me Pyros, yo ho.

We dig in the mortars,
then push in the shells
We line up the racks in a row,
Set up the lance work and
squib all the match
And then the switch we will throw!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pyro’s life for me.

We’re PGI members all set for the blaze Light up, me Pyros, yo ho,
Hand me a punk and I’ll light up these days Yo ho, me Pyros, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a Pyro’s life for me!!
