Inspirational song

This is the song that uncle Mike wrote for the wedding. It was performed (by Derek, and sung along by all) instead of having a traditional reading.

"It's Great to Be a Pirate"

It’s great to be a pirate
And live a life of pleasure
We fight with swords and swing from ropes
And hunt for buried treasure.
We make our families walk the plank
Ignore them while they’re pleadin’.
We’ll wear those patches on our eyes
So we don’t have to see ’em.

CHORUS
It’s great, it’s great – To be a married pirate!
It’s great, it’s great – To live in wedded bliss.
It’s great, it’s great – Shackled to our partner.
It’s great, it’s great – A life of strife as man and wife our
Freedom we won’t miss.

Here’s to getting married
Our vows we’ll be a’heedin’
We’ll fight all day, make up all night
Our sleep, we won’t be needin’.
We make our families tow the line
When they will come a-sailin’.
They’ll swab the deck and clean the head
And that’ll send them packin’.

CHORUS
