Lyrics[]
The pirate queen is clever, and mean Her treasure well hidden, it's told
It's deep in her cave and ye'd better be brave to be taking her silver and gold
There's some tried to find it, all of them failed Their souls trapped forever it's said!
But if ye listen close, then I'll riddle the way, but it's more likely you'll end up dead
[Billie] Oh… okay!
[Scrimshaw and Cats] Beware, be wary be quick, for the pirate queen's cave is cursed. Beware, be wary, cause it's flipping scary, the pirate queen's cave... is the WORST!
[Scrimshaw] Inside the great hall is an impenetrable wall invisible even in light!
so you'll have to rely on the sense of your eyes, and not on the sense of your sight!
Her crew drinks a brew made from honey and milk,
and it's said that each one is bewitched! It plays with their heads until each one is said,
They’d rather get poor than get rich!
[Scrimshaw and Cats] Beware, be wary be quick,
for the pirate queen's cave is cursed. Beware, be wary, cause it's flipping scary,
the pirate queen's cave... is the WORST!
[Scrimshaw] The Pirate Queen even wrote her own theme... a dastardly musical tune!
She'd make her band play it for days upon end!
On a flute, a guitar, and bassoon!
When she throws a party then everyone there better dance or start saying their prayers!
So find ye a partner, and best do it quick, cause the queen wants you dancing in pairs!
[Scrimshaw and Cats] Beware, be wary be quick, for the pirate queen's cave is cursed.
Beware, be wary, cause it's flipping scary,
the pirate queen's cave... is the WORST!
[Bridge] (It's the worst)
It's the worst
(It's the worst)
(It's the worst!!)
If you're caught then you won't be the first!
(It's the worst)
It's the worst
(It's the worst)
It's the worst!!
(The Pirate Queen's cave... IS CURSED!!!)
[Scrimshaw] The pirate's say that our queen has a way of sinking the ships that she finds! If the storm takes you up,
and the storm takes you down, hold hands or you're likely to drown!
She stores all her ale in a cellar so dank, only music can bring it to life!
Though the scum has set in and the water does leak her song carries on!
(Dee dum die, dee dum die)
[Scrimshaw and Cats]
Beware, be wary be quick,
for the pirate queen's cave is cursed.
Beware, be wary, cause it's flipping scary,
the pirate queen's cave... is the WORST!
[Bridge] (It's the worst)
It's the worst
(It's the worst)
(It's the worst!!)
But there’s treasure if ye got the thirst!
(It's the worst)
It's the worst
(It's the worst)
It's the worst!!
(The Pirate Queen's cave... IS CURSED!!!)
[Scrimshaw] She was just a wee pup when tragedy
struck a fire set a village ablaze!
The lighthouse burned down, and the ships ran aground and all that was left was to pray!
Now she prays to the god of riches and greed,
and is said to have wealth without end!
So what could you want, when you have everything?
If I knew, I would tell you, my friend!
[Scrimshaw and Cats] Beware, be wary be quick,
for the pirate queen's cave is cursed.
Beware, be wary, cause it's flipping scary,
the pirate queen's cave…
If it’s gold that ye crave!
The pirate queens cave!
It makes a nice grave!
The pirate queens cave…!
Is the worst!
