And it’s whey hay where the roaches reign.
Can you swat what you can’t see?
With the Black Flag running in our veins,
We’ll invite ourselves to tea.
I’ve feasted well upon the dregs of food both both old and green.
A fortnight since I was an egg, and many’s the sight I’ve seen.
But the finest kitchen anywhere in which to keep a cockroach lair,
In trash cans full and cupboards bare, is Anne’s that’s never clean.
(Chorus)
| Chorus: |
And it’s whey hay where the roaches reign. Can you swat what you can’t see? With the Black Flag running in our veins, We’ll invite ourselves to tea. With the houseflies dancing overhead, In the putrid beef is where they bred. And you’ll regret that ever you fed At the board of Anne Bonney. |
Now some will change their dinner plans when they see a rodent there.
And some distrust the crusted pans left lying everywhere.
But the staunchest stomach could not stand,
and sooner would eat salad canned
Than find within it, not a strand, but a mat of Anne’s red hair.
(Chorus)
Come as you are, and scurry by; there’s scads of stuff to steal.
We’ve seen fresh veggies mummify and immortal Spam congeal.
Come midge and maggot, mold and mouse,
We’ll stuff you full; it’s on the house.
Bring all your grubs and serve your spouse for a fun-filled family meal.
(Chorus)
It’s bread and butter ho, me hearties, strip the larder clean.
We’ll eat our fill of last night’s party’s foreign haute cuisine.
We’ll creep out with the morning sun and hide inside the hotdog bun.
And give our thanks when feeding’s done to Anne, the cockroach queen.
(Chorus)
