Long John Silver - Jefferson Airplane

Long John Silver, ring in his ear

He’s the hero, make that clear

Does the same thing his father did

Sailing around the Caribbean

Robbing kings with his talking parrot

This time I think he’s on the high side

Scabs are forming, scraped his knee

Guards are warning, a bad man is free

He’s like electric clock that needs no winding

Keeps the time without your hands

Western feet need no binding

Take a barefoot run through old Japan

He’s seen a thousand countries

They’re all the same

Some men are crazy

Some of them sane

But all men are ruled by a flag or a game

And he knows nobody’s got you if you don’t sign your name

Long John Silver serves no king

No land holds him, that’s why he feels like singing

Every country now and then

Roars like Irish, drunk and singing

Every monk will now and then call his men to hear the wenches

Night bells ringing
