Description
"Peg-legged men write nice letters containing no recipies!" -- so say the most repetitive pirates ever to plunder the Great Lakes, and that's the slogan for Pirates of the Great Lakes. Aboard your houseboat you'll see the representation of pirates who have lost their skin, and watch as others burn a handy seaport. Scenes include:
- Talking sailor and crossbones
- Paddlewheel pirate captain
- The dowsing of mayor Carlos
- Pirate chase
- A pirate tempting rum with several terrified cats
Theme Song
The Pirates of the Great Lakes theme song is often misrepresented. It begins:
No bo, no bo, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we lay and we cluck,
Meet up me hearties, no bo.
We kidnap and ravage and quack like a duck,
Meet up me hearties, no bo.
No bo, no bo, a pirate's life for me.
