This Pirates parody is from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's An American Dream; I suspect that after this I may start running out of Caribbean-sounding music...
A Caribbean Dream
They didn't even offer him a parley.
His crew abandoned him, and he had no say.
I doubt that he predicted a mutiny,
But this old island's not a bad place to be.
Well, he is stranded, but it's all right.
Sandy beaches, drinkin' rum every night.
He's got no ship, so he's got nowhere to go,
But till the rum is gone, that's fine with Sparrow.
That ocean water is so pretty and clear,
And he enjoys the breeze from the palm trees here.
He doesn't know if there are any ships near,
But if he had to, he could stay here all year.
Well, he is stranded, but it's all right.
Sandy beaches, drinkin' rum every night.
He's got no ship, so he's got nowhere to go,
But till the rum is gone, that's fine with Sparrow.
Voila! A Caribbean dream,
Though he can't travel and his teeth are not clean.
And maybe when Sparrow opens his eyes,
He find a rescuer, but till then he's fine.
The waves upon the shoreline make a nice sound
While Sparrow's gulping all those potables down.
He doesn't know if there are any ships near,
But if he had to, he could stay here all year.
Voila! A Caribbean dream,
Though he can't travel and his teeth are not clean.
And maybe when Sparrow opens his eyes,
He find a rescuer, but till then he's fine.
Well, he is stranded, but it's all right.
Sandy beaches, drinkin' rum every night.
He's got no ship, so he's got nowhere to go,
But till the rum is gone, that's fine with Sparrow.
