Mad Cat

I am the Captain's Cat

My duty Is to Kill the bilge rats

He calls me Bucko

We are sailing to t Morocco

I sharpen my claws on Belaying pin

 That be My only sin

..

I am even allow on the poop deck

Cabin boy scratches behind my ears and my neck

I play with the swing of lead

Sometime I fall in hogshead

Quartermaster pulls me out be fore I drown dead

..

I do chase the sea gulls

If I am really, good the cook gives me Cackle Fruit

My Captain hide is loot in his boot

Shhhh I did't tell you

Because Dead Man tell no lies

This little kitty does not want to die

.. 

I am cat with nine lives

Oh not cat o'nine tails

The crew and me sail

The ocean blue

Look the East storm be brew

Mew o Mew Mew

.. 

Love to Take a Caulk in the sun

To jump and run

The won't let me have a pistol gun

Powder monkey sometimes share his sally lunn

..

Pirate up in the crow nest

Land ho Land ho

Captain disguised dress

So he won't get arrested

He off takes pleasure trip

Stop pat me on the head kiss me on the lips

.. -

I will stay upon the ship

Because black cats are not welcome guest

No hemp jig for me

I just wait for this rat to digest

.. 

Captain and his crew

I give them my Mew o adieu

They are out on their quest

To find x marks the spot

Get all the booty

Maybe he by new yacht?

Chistine

for all ye now-pyrates ~landlubber

Belaying pin -- A short wooden rod to which a ship's rigging is secured. A common improvised weapon aboard a sailing ship, because they're everywhere, they're easily picked up, and they are the right size and weight to be used as clubs.

Bilge! -- Nonsense, or foolish talk. The bilges of a ship are the lowest parts, inside the hull along the keel. They fill with stinking bilgewater -- or just "bilge."

Cackle Fruit - chicken eggs

Duffle - everything a sailor owns, also the nickname for the bag which holds it

Head bathroom

Jacob's Ladder - the rope ladder used to climb aboard the ship

Mizzen - the third mast from the bow

Powder Monkey - a gunner's assistant

Monkey Jacket - a short waist jacket

Swing the Lead - A lead weight swung from a line into water when near shore was a way to measure depth, the job's simple requirements caused the phrase to evolve into a term for slacking off

Take a Caulk - The deck's gaps were sealed with oakum and tar, and napping on them would leave black lines on the clothes. Someone going to nap on deck could say they were going to "take a caulk

Hogshead- a large barrel or cask holding 63 to 140 gallons, usually referring to alcohol
