lyrics

Captain Seamus, the meanest pirate known throughout the seas.
He’d been marauding for years and years- brought many ships to their knees.
He sailed with a crew of rascals, his First Mate One-Eyed Frank
The two were downright naughty. Made their own mothers walk the plank.
But inside the captain’s quarters, he kept a tank of water
And when to his door you pressed your ear, the captain singing you would hear.

I love me seahorses, Ay, I do.
I’ll always be so dear to you.
To yer mates, you’re always true.
Ye men hold babes like kang-e-roos.

One day there was a battle ‘tween Seamus and the Pirate Peg-Leg Pete.
Seamus’ crew fought them back. Pete sailed off in defeat.
But his seahorses had gone missing. Seamus’ worst nightmare.
“I’ll chase you to the end of time, Pete! I promise you! I swear!”
Against his Mate Frank he did brace, a forlorn look upon his face.
He hung his head o’er the rails and the pirate captain he did wail.

I love me seahorses, Ay, I do.
I’ll always be so dear to you.
To yer mates, you’re always true.
Ye men hold babes like kang-e-roos.

Cap & Frank sailed round the world and conquered many a fleet.
They found lots of gold, and treasure, but never Peg-Legged Pete.
One morning Seamus heard singing and followed it to Ol’ Frank’s bunk.
He found his Mate singing to his seahorses, hidden inside a trunk.
“Frank- this is a sight to see. I’d never thought you’d lie to me.”
“Sorry, Cap, I know I done wrong, I jes’ wanted a chance to sing yer song”

I love me seahorses, Ay, I do.
I’ll always be so dear to you.
To yer mates, you’re always true.
Ye men hold babes like kang-e-roos.

Seamus he still sails around and is feared by one and all
Nary a ship will answer back when they hear his pirate call
He keeps his pets close to him- sings to them night and day.
If you ask him about his First Mate, in a growl he will say,
“Frank- twas to the brig with him. But along with me he hums.
I could never make him walk the plank, I love him even more than Mum.”

We love our seahorses, Ay, we do.
We’ll always be so dear to you.
To yer mates, you’re always true.
Ye men hold babes like kang-e-roos.
men hold babes like kang-e-roos.
men hold babes like kang-e-roos.
