Gramusa's Diary Lyrics
Gramusa's diary
Spread out on the sea
Sworn to a pirate church
His shoulder a parrot perch
Joe, his parrot of old
Had an eye for gold
No dreamin' on telephone wires
Intead of conquered empires
Seven years ago
Broken bones
One dawn in a sleepy bay
Came pirate Bill McCray
His treasure colored golder
No parrot on his shoulder
Seven years ago
Gramusa lost Joe
No more company
To terrorize the sea
Broken-hearted he climbed to dive
No longer felt alive
That Belizian water tower
Was to be his grey flower
But below, the mud
Absorbed the thud
Momma's medicine sack
Fixed his broken back
Now at sea, he makes his tips
On snorkeling tourist trips
No more Gramusa the pirate grouch
Seven years without a slouch
Spread out on the sea
Sworn to a pirate church
His shoulder a parrot perch
Had an eye for gold
No dreamin' on telephone wires
Intead of conquered empires
Broken bones
Came pirate Bill McCray
His treasure colored golder
No parrot on his shoulder
Gramusa lost Joe
No more company
To terrorize the sea
No longer felt alive
That Belizian water tower
Was to be his grey flower
Absorbed the thud
Momma's medicine sack
Fixed his broken back
On snorkeling tourist trips
No more Gramusa the pirate grouch
Seven years without a slouch
