Bootstraps Bill (Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett)

I knew I had at least one more Pirates parody in me, and what's more tropical-sounding than Kokomo? Why, Margaritaville, of course!

Bootstraps Bill

I gotta tell ya,
I was a young fella
When I met your mama, and I was afraid
To take on the bother
Of bein' a father.
Now just look at the mess I have made.

Wishin' that I could say I'm glad to meet ya, Will.
I've been thinkin' of you so long, my son.
But it's a shame that Davy Jones knows your name.
You're a slave; there's nowhere to run.

Well, pirates are ruthless -
And too often toothless -
And I thought you could escape from that life.
But Captain Jack found you,
And then he was bound to
Betray you and cause me even more strife.

Wishin' that I could say I'm glad to meet ya, Will.
I've been thinkin' of you so long, my son.
But it's a shame that Davy Jones knows your name.
You're a slave; there's nowhere to run.

If I could just save you
From this liquid grave, you
Know I would, but it seems you must stay.
You are nowhere near dry land,
So come and take my hand.
Perhaps we could bond just a bit anyway.

Wishin' that I could say I'm glad to meet ya, Will.
I've been thinkin' of you so long, my son.
But it's a shame that Davy Jones knows your name.
You're a slave; there's nowhere to run.
Yes, it's a shame that Davy Jones knows your name.
You're a slave; there's nowhere to run.
