She's a Pirate
melody and lyrics copyright © 2008 Ernest Clark

Have you seen Mary lately?  Are you ready for surprise?
Her old friends can't get over the wild look in her eyes.
Watch out for bloody language, a disregard for law,
The valley girl you knew before just isn't there at all!
   She's a pirate now that pirates are the fashion,
   She struts and she swaggers with the best,
   She's a pirate now that pirates are the fashion,
   She buckles all her swashes and she buckles them with zest.

She found that special lipstick with a sanguinary hue
The points of her tricorn are to get the point to you.
She swings a graceful cutlass, she now can tie a bight,
Her tan lines all run 'way, 'way down, and golly are they tight!
   She's a pirate now that pirates are the fashion,
   She knows how to accessorize a hook,
   She's a pirate now that pirates are the fashion,
   She's an expert at projecting that Yo-Ho-Ho Look.

Those spray-encrusted leather pants are not in every store,
Her midnight silk bandanna is from Christian Dior,
Her panache of Bold Marauder makes imitators lame,
Her color scheme and balance put that Sparrow chap to shame.
   She's a pirate now that pirates are the fashion,
   But hurry if you want to take a peek,
   She's a pirate now that pirates are the fashion,
   But "Samurai" is coming to theaters next week!
