Yo Ho!
Blood on the Dance Floor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A pirate walks into the bar
The bartender asks
What's with the steering wheel in your pants?
The pirate says
Arr! It's driving me nuts.

Now I've been riding across the seven seas
Looking for a girl from another fantasy
I keep a big ship
They call me Captain King.

I got the I patch
Tri hat
Rollin' like a pirate
Shiver my timbers
Fuck you till you're limber
Freaky deaky
Till you get leaky
Like Run DMC it's tricky
So animated might as well call me Mickey

Pedal to the medal
Red eyes like a devil
Raise the white flag
Can't reach my level
Like arr arr
Flow sick like SARS
XXX till I hit your mark
Ahoy!
Ahoy!
I put that happy to the joy
Fuck with me
And I'll play you like a GameBoy
Ninja
Skin ya
Throw you in a blender
Chop chop chop
I'm a motherfucking pirate!

Yo Ho Ho
And a bottle rum we go
Argh!
It's my duty
To please that booty
Yo Ho Ho
And a bottle rum we go
Argh!
It's my duty
To please that booty
Yo Ho Ho




It's a pirates life for me
It's a pirates life for me

A pirate walks into a bar
The bartender asks
"What's with the steering wheel in your pants?"
And the pirate says
"Arr! It's driving me nuts!"

Now I've been ridin 'cross the seven seas
Lookin' for a girl from another fantasy
I keep a big ship
They call me Captain Kid
I got the eye-patch
Tri-hat
Rollin' like a pirate

Shiver my timbers
Fuck you 'til your limber
Freaky-deaky
'Til you get leaky
Like Run DMC
It's tricky
So animated might as well call me Mickey

Pedal to the medal
Red eyes like a devil
Raise the white flag
Can't reach my level

I'm over you like I just dunked
Battle ship you just got sunk

Boy, you think you can handle this?
Is your port hole big enough for my ship?
It's not the motion of the ocean
And size of the thing
'Cause we ain't getting nowhere
With these fuckin' water wings

Now I'm just straight dunking
Gold stars for my rhymes
I got all the boys sucking
Jealous bitches are hating
'Cause it's not them we fuckin

Nuclear Cat Baby

@Xx_SomeSceneCath0lic_xX My mom told me about it. She told me she used to smoke marijuana in the 80s. This was back in the Bush era when it was still illegal in every state so she never smoked it around me until it was legalized when she was living in Oregon.

The year is 2019 I have come back to visit a part of my past that was once forgotten. Some things should stay forgotten.
