The Pirate I Was Meant to Be–Jack Sparrow(Pirates of the Caribbean)|Monkey Island A.I. Concept Cover

Captain Jack turns Monkey Island’s cheeky shanty into a one-man deck show—fiddle, boots on planks, rum in hand—bragging, rhyming, and somehow winning… mostly by accident.

―― LYRICS ――

[Verse 1 – JACK SPARROW]
I'm a most audacious pirate, a-sailin' out to sea,
When you hear my gentle singing, you'll be sure to flee from me—
—or join the chorus, buy a round, we'll call it piracy!
Either way, do mind your pockets and your jewelry.
The Black Pearl's mine by right, savvy? Though I lost her once before
To that scurvy dog Barbossa—but I evened up the score!

[Verse 2 – JACK SPARROW]
Time to recover that map, me compass points to "rum"!
That magical compass of mine—to Davy Jones I'm beholden, but come!
I'm a tuneful, tipsy rover; sing in every clef,
I can even hit the high notes—shame I'm slightly tone-def'.
Thirteen years of captaincy, that was our agreement
But a pirate's debt to the devil... well, that needs some treatment!

[Chorus – JACK SPARROW]
A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Captain Jack Sparrow, that's me name
And freedom's always been my game!

[Verse 3 – JACK SPARROW]
Let's go defeat that evil lad—he's bound to lose to me,
For I know just where to fire—somewhere vaguely starboard-lee.
I'm a thievin' balladeer with cutlass, charm, and mugs;
To fend me off ye don't need guns—just proper earplugs.
From Port Royal to Tortuga, I've sailed the seven seas
Fought the cursed, the undead, and Spanish fleets with ease!

[Chorus – JACK SPARROW]
A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!
The Pearl and I, we're destiny
My first love's been the briny sea!

[Verse 4 – JACK SPARROW]
All right then, crew of none—let's work! Captain Jack's what I love.
I'll fight you in the harbor, on the sand, or up above.
But meet a singin' pirate like your Captain Jack today,
And you'll discover more than you can reasonably obey.
Once worked for the East India, 'til Beckett branded me
For freeing slaves from bondage—now that's true piracy!

[Verse 5 – JACK SPARROW]
No time for chatter—make your move, the battle may run long,
But courage proves itself quite well inside a jaunty song.
I'm a scurvy sea-dog pack of one—have I pity? Not a dram!
I eat roasted garlic nightly, sing from the diaphragm.
The Wicked Wench she was, before she got her name
Now the Black Pearl sails again, and I've reclaimed my fame!

[Chorus – JACK SPARROW]
A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Lord of the Caribbean, me
One of the Brethren Court's mighty three!

[Verse 6 – JACK SPARROW]
Less singing, more sailing—when I win he'll bail his ship!
If you try to cross me, mate, you'll get a nasty whack and flip.
Disrespect my golden verses? Kraken gets the final say—
(Strictly figurative, of course. Unless Jones calls today.)
That squid-faced devil's after me, but I'm too smart by half
Though William saved the day back then—on my behalf!

[Chorus – JACK SPARROW]
A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Bootstrap Bill's boy set me free
From Jones's cursed destiny!

[Verse 7 – JACK SPARROW]
I'm growing sick of rhyming—still, the cannons need a prime,
I'm a troublesome corsair who steals your treasure, beer, and time.
I would shoot you on the downbeat—rest five measures, count with me…
One, two, three, four, five—now kindly hand me that key.
To Isla de Muerta and back, through the Locker I have been
Seen more supernatural sights than any mortal's seen!

[Chorus – JACK SPARROW]
A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!
Trickster of the Caribbean
That's Captain Jack—remember me!

[Verse 8 – JACK SPARROW]
Stop? Hardly—polish up the brass and give the deck a mop,
You say you're nasty pirates? Bah—your bluster's bound to stop.
From what I've seen this very eve, you're bushwhackers of leisure—
While Jack excels at everything, especially at finding pleasure.
From Blackbeard to Salazar, I've bested every foe
The seas know Captain Jack Sparrow wherever winds may blow!

[Final Chorus – JACK SPARROW]
A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!
This is the day ye'll always see
Ye almost caught Jack!

“Not all treasure is silver and gold—some of it’s a chorus you can shout at sea.”
