THE PIRATE SHIP SEA GRACE
Past the very edge of the Horizon
Where no live mate may dwell
Docks a pirate ship
That's oh, so grand
Or so the legends tell.
She floats in clear, blue waters
Off the sands of a tropical beach
And try as we might to find her
She's out of the live pirate's reach.
Her name be the Pirate Ship Sea Grace
And her one, great job it be
To welcome the fur and the hearts and the paws
Of our four-legged friends gone to sea.
They frolic and tussle and bound forth
They pillage and plunder it's true
For the ache in their auld bones has left them
And now they are waiting for you.
For when an old pirate takes his last breath
And crosses that far distant sea
The Sea Grace will be there for welcome
And your loyal matey will be there to greet thee.
Together again for eternity
Your Jolly Jack flying with pride
The wind in your hair
A wet tongue on your face
In your pirate ship fore'er side by side.
