Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry!
 * Fill, oh fill the pirate glass!

And, to make us more than merry,
 * Let the pirate bumper pass.

For to-day our pirate 'prentice
 * Rises from indentures freed.

Strong his arm and keen his scent is;
 * He's a pirate now indeed!

Here's good luck to Frederic's venture: Frederic's out of his indentures!

Two-and-twenty, now he's rising,
 * And alone he's fit to fly;

Which we're bent on signalizing
 * With unusual revelry.

Here's good luck to Frederic's ventures; Frederic's out of his indentures.
 * So pour, oh pour the pirate sherry, etc.
