Theme Song
The Pirates of the Blue Bayou theme song is often misheard. It begins:
Oh know, oh know, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we defend and resist,
Toss up me hearties, oh know.
We kidnap and ravage and don't see the dentist,
Toss up me hearties, oh know.
Oh know, oh know, a pirate's life for me.
