Description
"Animatronic men get no tales!" -- so say the most tireless pirates ever to plunder the Great Lakes, and that's the byword for Pirates of the Great Lakes. Aboard your canoe you'll see the bodies of pirates who have seen their last E ticket, and watch as others incinerate a friendly village. Scenes include:
- Talking skull and pianos
- Stabed soldier
- Pirate ship battle
- "Repair a Bride" auction
- A pirate drinking rum with several terrified peaches
Theme Song
The Pirates of the Great Lakes theme song is often misrepresented. It begins:
Bo bo, bo bo, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we worry and wrong,
Put up me hearties, bo bo.
We kidnap and ravage and sing this darn song,
Put up me hearties, bo bo.
Bo bo, bo bo, a pirate's life for me.
