  • Song Lyrics:
    LEAD PIRATE:
    Full speed ahead, Mr. Cohen!

    CHORUS:
    Up, up, up your premium. Up, up, up your premium
    PIRATE:
    Scribble away!
    CHORUS:
    Up, up, up your premium
    PIRATE:
    And balance the books
    CHORUS:
    Up, up, up your premium
    PIRATE:
    Scribble away!
    CHORUS:
    Up, up, up your premium
    PIRATE:
    But manage the books
    CHORUS:
    Up, up, up.

    PIRATES:
    It's fun to charter an accountant
    And sail the wide accountancy
    To find, explore the funds offshore
    And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!

    It can be manly in insurance
    We'll up your premium semi-annually
    It's all tax deductible.
    We're fairly incorruptible
    We're sailing on the wide accountancy!

    LEAD PIRATE:
    Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen!
    PIRATE:
    Sail away!...
    CHORUS:
    Up, up, up...
    LEAD PIRATE:
    Fetch me another exotic salute. To port! Bring her port to shell out! And the medium guys shell out to port! Balance the books! Bring me another small shellfish, Mr. Cohen...
