A Pirate's Life For Me, from Disney's Pirates of the Carribean<br />A great song for children:<br />"We pillage we plunder, we rifle and loot. <br />Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. <br />We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. <br />Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. "<br /><br />New York New York, Frank Sinatra (don't you remember that episode of Taxi where Bobby met his merchant marine dad and went on a voyage with him and asked if he knew any "sea shanties" and this is the only song the sailors knew?)
