Long, long, long ago When pirates sailed the seas There was a rascal His name was Patch Thats CAPN Patch, if you please! Now ol Capn Patch was a typical pirate He would drink and steal and swear But now its time to be nice and find a home Where folks are kind and fair! My Mum was right, the Capn said A pirates life is bad! Its not nice to be a crook And steal what others have! If only I could find a place A country I could stay. But what kind of king would let a pirate in? THAT would be the day! Just then Patch heard a wiggle Coming from the chest! He opened the box And there they were! Oh boy! Now HERES a mess! In the chest were stowaways! In fact, they were two kids! Howdy, Capn! Were Flip and Flop! Thanks for flipping our lid! We have no Moms We have no Dads. We thought wed take a trip! We hitched a ride and came to town And then we found your ship! Were out to sea! We cant go back! Patch shaded his eyes and looked But if Im caught with you two squids My goose is REALLY cooked! Then Patch had an idea! I know what we will do! Im very sure that this will work Ive thought it through and through! We all need a home, we do Lets stick together, us three! You squids both need a Mum and Dad And I just want to be free! So if we find a kindly king Who will let a pirate in I bet that he will be a king Who can help you find some kin!
