Description
"Strange men repeat no tales!" -- so say the most repetitive pirates ever to plunder the Spanish-American War, and that's the byline for Pirates of the Spanish-American War. Aboard your seat you'll see the scenes of pirates who have gone to Davey Jones, and watch as others pillage a local seaport. Scenes include:
- A Theater bayou
- Wagon pirate in bed
- Pirate ship battle
- "Buy a Haunt" auction
- A pirate drinking rum with several terrified bagpipes
Theme Song
The Pirates of the Spanish-American War theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
Dough show, dough show, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we anger and mad,
Set up me hearties, dough show.
We kidnap and ravage and are kind of rad,
Set up me hearties, dough show.
Dough show, dough show, a pirate's life for me.
