Long John Silver ring in his ear
He's the hero, make that clear
Does the same thing his father did
Sailing around the Caribbean
Robing king with his talking parrot
This time I think he's on the high side
Scabs are forming, scraped his knee
Guards are warning a bad man is free
He's like electric clock that needs no winding
Keeps the time without your hands
Western feet need no binding take
A barefoot run through old Japan
He's seen a thousand countries
They're all the same
Some men crazy, some men sane
But all men are ruled by a flag or a game
He knows Nobody's got you
If you don't sign your name
Long John Silver serves no king
No land holds him, that's why he feels like singing
Every country now and then
Roars like Irish, drunk and singing
Every monk will now and then
Call his men to hear the wenches night bells ringing
(Grace Slick, Jack Casady) Long John Silver ring in his ear He's the hero, make that clear Does the same thing his father did Sailing around the Caribbean Robing king with his talking parrot This time I think he's on the high side Scabs are forming, scraped his knee Guards are warning a bad man is free He's like electric clock that needs no winding Keeps the time without your hands Western feet need no binding take A barefoot run through old Japan He's seen a thousand countries They're all the same Some men crazy, some men sane But all men are ruled by a flag or a game He knows Nobody's got you If you don't sign your name Long John Silver serves no king No land holds him, that's why he feels like singing Every country now and then Roars like Irish, drunk and singing Every monk will now and then Call his men to hear the wenches night bells ringing Explain Request ×
