Running Wild Calico Jack Port Royal-1988

Calico Jack
Музыка: Rolf Kasparek
Текст: Rolf Kasparek, Stefan Schwarzmann

Up with the Roger! The vessel is close.
Cannons are loaded. The weapons prepared.
Set up more sails! The distance grows.
They try to escape, but we shan't care.

CHORUS:
Calico Jack, listen and here my command!
Calico Jack, I lead you to victory!
Calico Jack, we shall win in the end!
Calico Jack, you may believe what I foresee!

Down with the Roger! Tthe vessel's too far.
It's time for the red flag - no remorse.
Anne and Mary. More rum in my jar.
I need more refreshment before we set course.

Changing the course now, we must get in touch.
Triple afford - he must not escape.
Our breath in their neck they feel our grudge.
We have to hurry to get them in scrape.
Fight!

(SOLO)

Acrid smell of smoke in the air.
White flag's rising, mainmast breaks.
Ears go deaf by my brother's blare.
Upper deck is taken over.

All of a sudden a yelling cry.
Ports turn open. What a mess!
Soldiers get out 'n' comrades die.
Desperate fight - we're on the loose.

The Judge:
"John Rackham,
you are charged with murder and piracy of the high seas.
In the name of Her Majesty you will be taken from this court
and hung, drawn and quartered.
What are your last words, accused?"

Calico Jack:
"My last words ? Ha-ha!!!
Who do you think you are?!
What right have you to judge over my destiny ?!
Take your pompous words
and stick'em where the sun don't shine!
I swear we'll meet again!
Bye!"
(SOLO!!!!
