They call themselves the pirates of the carob bean	C C F G
They steal organic chocolate, that why they're seldom seenF G G C
You'll find them hanging out in natural food stores	F F C
They don't go out doors, They lost the pirate wars	G G C
You can tell they're pirates by their long hair		F F C
They have an empty stare, They've lost their ship	G G C

They call themselves the pirates of the coffee bean
They're nerves are shot and frazzled, they're addicted to caffeine
You'll find them hanging out in crowded Starbucks
They all drive Ford trucks, Their pension plan sucks
You can tell they're pirates by their mad plans
They all have shaky hands, They've lost their way

They call themselves the pirates of the kidney bean
They're busy stewing chili, they like it red or green
You'll find them hanging out late night at Taco Bell
They've lost their sense of smell, And they're not feeling well
You can tell they're pirates by their parrots
Though some have ferrets, They've lost their minds

They call themselves the pirates of the lima bean
They eat veggies in the kitchen that's why they're seldom seen
You'll find them in the garden digging lentils
Their homes are rentals, They're all quite mental
You can tell they're pirates by their eye patch
And the plans they hatch, They've lost their wits

They call themselves the pirates of the jelly bean
They're also hooked on gummies, their hands are never clean
You'll find them lounging in the candy aisle
And when they smile, It's truly vile
You can tell they're pirates by their peg leg
And they won't beg, They've lost their flag

They call themselves the pirates of the magic bean
They're climbing up the beanstalk to rob the giant queen
You'll find them hanging out in ogre's ovens
They get no lovin', Now some are muffins
You can tell they're pirates by their cross bones
They're out of groans, And now they're bread
