lyrics

THE PIRATES ARE COMING
THE BATTERS ARE A’RUNNING
WE’LL PUT LOADS OF RUNS ON THE BOARD

WE HOLD EVERY CATCH, CONTROL EVERY MATCH
WE PUT OUR OPPONENTS TO THE SWORD

WE KNOCK THE STUMPS OUT
WE’VE GOT THE SKILLS WE’VE GOT THE CLOUT
WE BRING OUR TOWN’S PRIDE TO EVERY GAME
WE SHOW DEDICATION, AT EVERY LOCATION THE FLAG IS OUR TREASURE, OURS TO CLAIM!

BE AT AVERY’S OR AT COLLEGE
WE’RE SURE TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE
TO BEAT ALL SIDES – THAT’S OUR PLEDGE! (THAT’S OUR PLEDGE!)

THE PIRATES ARE COMING
THE BATTERS ARE A’RUNNING
WE’LL PUT LOADS OF RUNS ON THE BOARD
WE HOLD EVERY CATCH, CONTROL EVERY MATCH
WE PUT OUR OPPONENTS TO THE SWORD, (TO THE SWORD!)
