When Margoletta refused at Pete's command
To moooooooove from out the coots' domain
To move to move to move from out the coots' domain
This noisy charter boat soon parted from the land
And Hullabaloos soon heard this refrain:
Death and Glory! Wherever she maurauds
Coots for ever and ever rule the Broads!
Death and Glory! Wherever she maurauds
Coots for ever and ever rule the Broads!
With turbans, patches on the eyes, they play the Pirate lark,
You caaaan't expect them to be bird protecting aaaall the time
You can expectthem to be bird pro-otecting all-ll the time
But when it comes to salvage, they beat any Yarmouth shark
And rescued the Margoletta from Breydon's slime
Death and Glory! &c
This old black boooooat aint the fastest on the Bure
Unleeeeeeeeess Joe has got an easterly in his pockut
Unless unless unless Joe has got and easterly in his pockut
With sail and two engines, each hauling on an oar
This old boat, she fare to go like a blooming rockut!
Death and Glory! &c
The Northern Piiiiiirates nests shall guard
All Geooooorge Owowdon's attempts to bring them down
All George all George Owden's attempts to bring them down
Will but arouse the team of Scotland Yard
To work his wooooooe and their renown
Death and Glory! &c
In Jonatt's cruuuuuiser the Pirates escaped
Who coooooooooould resist the Bonnka's tempting call?
Who could, who could, resist the Bonkka's tempting call?
Then rescued the Houseboat from the narrowest of scrapes
"Geewhizz! Maybe salvage aint so bad after all!"
Death and Glory! &c
The Salvage Cooooompany can still be found,
So haaaaaaaaaappy to do booooat repairs
So happy happy happy to do boat repairs
Blessed land of Norfolk! Where matcless birds abound
With manly hearrrrts to guard nesting pairs!
Death and Glory! &c
For Ratty and his family
