Promises
[HaNS] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So, try the life of a thief
Just sample the life of a crook
There isn't a boy
Who won't enjoy
A-workin' for captain hook
The world's most famous crook
I'll tell you what I'll do
All those who sign without delay
Will get a free tattoo
Why, it's like money in the bank
C'mon, join up, and I'll be frank
Unless you do, you'll walk the plank
The choice is up to you
(The choice is up to you)
Yo ho, yo ho, yo ho, yo ho, yo ho
You'll love the life of a thief
You'll relish the life of a crook
There's barrels of fun enough for ev'ryone
And you'll get treasures by the ton
So come and sign the book
Join up with captain hook
The lyrics of 'Promises' by HaNS is a sample of the song 'You Can Fly' from Disney's classic movie Peter Pan, but it has a satirical twist to it. The song is told through the perspective of Captain Hook, one of the lead characters in Peter Pan, who is trying to entice and recruit potential thieves and crooks to join his gang. The song highlights the alluring temptation to join the opposite side, the dark side, and be free from any kind of moral obligations. The phrase "Just sample the life of a crook" suggests that stealing and looting can be equated with sampling new food, and Captain Hook is offering a "special offer of the day," a free tattoo for whoever signs up.
The lyrics also emphasize the sacrifice one needs to make to become a part of Hook's crew: either join or walk the plank. The verse “Unless you do, you’ll walk the plank” suggests that the option of staying out of the pirate crew is not open. The chorus highlights the fun and treasure that can be gained by becoming a pirate, such as barrels full of fun and treasure by the ton. The idea behind the lyrics is that the temptation of the swashbuckling pirate life can be alluring to someone who feels dissatisfied with their life or wants to rebel against social norms.

And of faithful promises
