Don't you waste no time
Cause we Dgotta get that Agold inside
Before Emit turns after nine

The Gbuccaneer sang in a Emnasal Dtwang
There's enough gold here to Emstart on

[Verse 2]
Well the EmCaptain he'd been told
Where they hid away the gold
And he told us to go dig it up
So that Dhe could get it Emsold
But Emsomebody had taken it
Before his very eyes
And he Dturned around and Alooked at me
And Emmuch to my surprise

And DI could feel it stick
But the EmRoyal Navy frigate came
