No matey, I'm going to pillage and plunder some booty with me crew!!! I will of course have to read these in-between pillaging and plundering.

My mother said to me
Arr matey ye should buy
A schooner with many cannon
To journey as a privateer
Stand with a parrot on your shoulder
Steer a grand vessel
Find a peaceful harbour
Cut down a Spaniard and another

Get off my ass, ya wee bitty fuck
If I pull out the claymore, you're shit outta luck
Who's that girl, that pretty young thing?
After I fuck 'er, she'll get up and sing
Aye, aye, aye
Sharpen your boot and bludgeon your eye
Aye, aye, aye
The Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye
Down to the pub for a two shilling ale
The bread on the counter is going stale
If I don't get some fresh bread soon
Gon' punch in your face and bark at the Moon
Aye, aye, aye
Sharpen your boot and bludgeon your eye
Aye, aye, aye
The Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye
Ain't got no girl 'cause I haven't the time
Got too many other things on me mind
Patty was nice, she was pale and cute
But I threw her away like an old piece of fruit
Aye, aye, aye
Sharpen your boot and bludgeon your eye
Aye, aye, aye
The Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye
Got ooze in my pores, my feet are all wet
Got mold in my ears, but I ain't dead yet
Got stones in me bladder, got a crack in me head
When Patty starts cryin', this is what I'll say
Aye, aye, aye
Sharpen your boot and bludgeon your eye
Aye, aye, aye
The Blarney Stone brings a tear to me eye

My dear old mother's words to me,
She said, "Arr matey, go forth and see,
Acquire a schooner, cannons galore,
Embark as a privateer, seeking more.

With a parrot perched on your sturdy shoulder,
Guide the grand vessel, fierce and bolder.
Find a tranquil harbor to rest and roam,
And take down Spaniards, make their ships your home.

But hold thy course, my adventurous child,
Remember, 'tis naught but stories compiled.
For piracy and plunder, though thrilling in tales,
Bring naught but sorrow, as justice prevails.

Instead, set sail on lawful endeavors,
With honor and kindness, be the truest of seafarers.
Navigate the waters, explore with a zest,
And may fortune guide you to lands of the best.

I know Gene Wolfe has a book where some wop gets isekai'd into pirate times, and the only other thing I know about it is there's apparently an extended rumination on the idea of teaching boys martial arts so that they don't get molested by priests.
