Pieces of Eight

I'll get me some pieces of eight

I'll go on a vast pirate quest

A silver coin is useful,

But a gold coin's always best

Dubloons and Reales I'll gather,

Whilst selling high-priced wares

I'll stow loot away in the lower hold

After settling my affairs

I won't let anyone know

Just how many pieces thar be

'Cause after all, I'm a pirate—

And we're prone to secrecy
