In 1580we  sailed  our  little  ship  around  the  coast  Of  Africa
down  the  Gaza  strip
We  took  some  salty  bacon  and  a  hammock  for  a  bed
Then  we  mixed  it  with  the  Spaniards  in  the  middle  of  the  Med
Well,we  hired  our  funds,saw  the  pretty  girls  a  comin'
There  wasn't  quite  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
We  hired  some  more  and  then  we  started  runnin'
All  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
Mexico,Mexico,Mexico,Mexico
Well,Francis  Drake  said  if  you  really  want  a  fight
The  best  thing  is  to  catch  them  in  the  middle  of  the  night
We  hoisted  anchor  and  powdered  up  the  gun
Then  we  sailed  around  in  circles  and  just  waited  for  the  fun
Well,we  hired  our  funds,saw  the  pretty  girls  a  comin'
There  wasn't  quite  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
We  hired  some  more  and  then  we  started  runnin'
All  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
Sing!Mexico,Mexico,Mexico,Mexico
Well,cannon  balls  flew  and  the  ship  began  to  sink,
The  water  stated  risin'so  we  really  had  to  think
And  then  by  chance  stood  a  man  as  black  as  coal
So  we  grabbed  him  by  the  trousers  and  we  plugged  him  in  the  hole
Well,we  hired  our  funds,saw  the  pretty  girls  a  comin'
There  wasn't  quite  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
We  hired  some  more  and  then  we  started  runnin'
All  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
Sing!Mexico,Mexico,Mexico,Mexico
Well,we  fired  from  the  side  port  and  we  fired  from  the  back
And  then  we  fired  from  the  galley  and  through  every  little  crack
We  fired  so  much  that  the  cook  started  cooking
Didn't  have  to  worry,so  we  flew  the  union  jack
Well,we  hired  our  funds,saw  the  pretty  girls  a  comin'
There  wasn't  quite  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
We  hired  some  more  and  then  we  started  runnin'
All  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
Well,we  hired  our  funds,saw  the  pretty  girls  a  comin'
