I may like this better than the final version
If ya wants to stay strong
And swing from the gantry
Eat your oatmeal, laddy
Right there in the pantry
Now, I’ll allow there’s some
What skips their oatmeal fast
Their time is short
Sailing before the mast
So eat up me lads
You one and all
Before its rapiers and swords
And cannon balls
Oatmeal and raisins
With a swallow of grog
Now up to the crow’s nest
And get us out of this fog
Chorus
Oatmeal and raisins
The pirate’s delight
Stay out of the locker
And avoid the black spot
