Oh, Better Far to Live and Die Gilbert and Sullivan (Ft. Donald Adams, The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus, Isidore Godfrey & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)

[Part I, Sung]

[PIRATE KING]
Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart

Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well to do,
But I'll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King!

For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King
I am a Pirate King!

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
You are! Hurrah for the Pirate King!

[PIRATE KING]
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
It is! Hurrah for the Pirate King
