Theme Song
The Pirates of California theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
Yo yo, yo yo, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we sing and amuse,
Hands up me hearties, yo yo.
We kidnap and ravage and then take a snooze,
Hands up me hearties, yo yo.
Yo yo, yo yo, a pirate's life for me.
