Be A Pirate
Sail the seas for treasure,
Riches beyond measure,
Learn cutlass technology...
Where a black flag
Makes your dreams come true,
On the waves or ’neath the sea…
Where can you learn to fight,
Blow stuff up all night,
Study buccaneering…
Join us in a shanty
And climb up the rigging high
Just blame the captain if you die
BE A PIRATE!
You can sail the seven seas
BE A PIRATE!
yeah you can drink your rum with ease
BE A PIRATE!
Come aboard and take the wheel
BE A PIRATE!
Theres a lot of gold to steal
BE A PIRATE!
Come on ye scurvy dogs across the land
BE A PIRATE!
Can’t you see we need more hands
BE A PIRATE!
BE A PIRATE!
Yo ho...
BE A PIRATE!!
Sign up for pirate duty,
Search the ports for booty,
Be the rogue they swoon to see…
Where can you bury all the gold
And map it too,
Far from any authority…
Learn to navigate, board ships,
Fire the cannons,
and swear with ferocity…
Keep your eyes wide open
On kraken overwatch…
Or it’s the last damn thing you’ll see!
BE A PIRATE!
Come on protect our treasure hoard
BE A PIRATE!
We need to sink that man-o-war
BE A PIRATE!
Light the fuse and clear the deck
BE A PIRATE!
Turn that ship into a wreck
BE A PIRATE!
Let’s go and chase the Spanish gold
BE A PIRATE!
Come on and fly the skull and bones
BE A PIRATE!
BE A PIRATE!
Yo ho...
BE A PIRATE!!
We want you, We want you,
We want you as a new recruit…
Who, me? YES YOU!
We want you, we want you
We want you as a pirate too…
Who, me? YES YOU!
On the high seas, wild and free…
That’s the life for you and me!
Where can you find doubloons
Where X marks the spot,
Learn to read the stars at night?
Where you can live as a scoundrel
wild and free,
No king’s law within your sight?
Join the boarding party
And charge into the fray,
When the enemy starts to fight…
Leave ‘em wishing they’d stayed
Back in port,
Then drink till the morning light!
BE A PIRATE!
Yes you can pillage every town
BE A PIRATE!
You'll never have to settle down
BE A PIRATE!
Come on ye bilge rats, raise the sail
BE A PIRATE!
Can’t you see we need more ale
BE A PIRATE!
Fill your mug and drain it dry
BE A PIRATE!
Raise the Jolly Roger high
BE A PIRATE!
BE A PIRATE!
Yo ho... BE A PIRATE!!
BE A PIRATE!
You can live the scoundrel way
BE A PIRATE!
There’s lots of fighting every day
BE A PIRATE!
Come on ye hearties, all for one
BE A PIRATE!
Can’t you see the fun has just begun
BE A PIRATE!
Sail the seas - make legends true
BE A PIRATE!
The wind and waves are calling you
BE A PIRATE!
BE A PIRATE!
Yo ho... BE A PIRATE!

Fo® Immediate Release
Or Whenever Ye Finally Stop Makin’ Excuses and Sign The Damn Roster
Hear ye, hear ye…
The recruiting office of the Vacation Pirates be officially open!
Applications are now bein’ accepted for any able-bodied scoundrel with questionable judgment and an unhealthy fascination with treasure, cannons, and excessive amounts o’ rum.
To celebrate, the crew be proudly unleashin’ their newest anthem...
“BE A PIRATE!” now stormin’ across all major streamin’ ports.
Think ye have what it takes?
Can ye climb rigging without immediately regrettin’ it?
Can ye point dramatically toward the horizon?
Can ye blame the captain when everything goes horribly wrong?
Congratulations...
Ye're already overqualified.
This high-energy call to arms be equal parts recruitment poster, pirate manifesto, and extremely questionable career advice. Learn the fine arts of sword fightin’, cannon firin’, treasure huntin’, navigatin’ by the stars, and convincin’ complete strangers that stealin’ Spanish gold somehow counts as a respectable profession.
Benefits include:
• Unlimited ocean views.
• Flexible work schedule.
• Competitive rum package.
• Opportunities for advancement through acts of astonishing bravery... or survivin’ long enough.
Medical coverage remains... largely theoretical.
Whether ye dream of raisin’ the Jolly Roger, chasin’ legends across the horizon, or simply yellin’ "YO HO!" at inappropriate moments, “BE A PIRATE!” reminds us all that ordinary life be terribly overrated.
So hoist the black flag.
Grab a cutlass.
Fill yer mug.
And if anyone asks why ye joined...
Tell 'em the song talked ye into it.
“BE A PIRATE!” be now streamin’ wherever music be found.
Go on then... press play.
Who, me?
YES YOU! 🏴☠️

Made Fo® You® Ship Show
We admit it… we're biased. We work our butts off creating awesome off-the-rack designs, and we'd love nothing more than to see you wearing one on your next cruise. But some occasions deserve something a little more personal.
Whether you're planning a family cruise, girls trip, bachelor or bachelorette party, birthday celebration, wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, class reunion, or any other excuse to get your favorite people together on a cruise, a custom shirt turns an already unforgettable vacation into something even more memorable.
Yeah, it looks great on the ship. But long after the tan fades and the luggage is unpacked, it becomes something even better… a souvenir that brings back the memories every time you pull it out of the closet.
