How can you not like a band with a name like “The Boat Drunks”. This band caught my curiosity while listening to Radio Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett’s internet radio station. If you haven’t listened to Radio Margaritaville, give it a try. It’s a great station to listen to at work or on the patio as you sip on some cold adult beverages.
The Boat Drunks are a group of guys who cover a lot of Buffett songs and have a some great stuff of their own. One of their greats is “A Pirate on the Caribbean” from their Wahine Man album. I’ve scoured the internet for the lyrics to give to you guys, but they’re no where to be found. Who said the internet has everything?
I did find the some Youtube videos of the song and posted one below.
These talented guys play all over the place including Parrot Head ground zero…The Key West Margaritaville. I hope you enjoy this Music Monday’s Salt Life Sound selection.
Cheers to the Salt Life,

A Pirate on the Caribbean (Tatar)
I wanna be where there’s coconut trees and the air is salty sweet
surrounded by the water and the temperature is hotter than a summertime St.
Maarten beach
I don’t wanna pillage I don’t wanna plunder I just wanna spend all day in the sun
With a Cuban cigar, my four-stringed guitar and a case of Puerto Rican rum
I wish I was a pirate on the Caribbean smokin on my boat and Havaña
daydreamin’
Drinkin’ margaritas and Jimmy’s there singin’ I wish I was a pirate on the
Caribbean
I’d make my camp with a navigator’s lamp underneath a starry sky
And the ocean breeze through the green palm trees will be my lullaby
I wish I was a pirate on the Caribbean smokin’ on my boat and Havaña
daydreamin’
Drinkin’ margaritas and Jimmy’s there singin’ I wish I was a pirate on the
Caribbean
No sharks no fins no pirate sins no livin’ a life of crime
No black eye patch no Captain Jack just Cuervo, salt and lime
The fun would never end unless the Caribbean wind blew in a big hurricane
I’d head for land toss my anchor in the sand and sing “Boat Drinks” in the rain
I wish I was a pirate on the Caribbean smokin on my boat and Havaña
daydreamin’
Drinkin’ margaritas and Jimmy’s there singin’ I wish I was a pirate on the
Caribbean
I wish I was a pirate on the Caribbean smokin on my boat and Havaña
daydreamin’
Drinkin’ margaritas and Jimmy’s there singin’ I wish I was a pirate on the
Caribbean
