Paladin Schmaladin

Call me Ser, I wear the white
I’m the Champion of all that’s right
Noble heart and steady sight
I am a Paladin

The monks, they raised me – had no mother
Bible in one hand, a blade in the other
Live like a Saint – the Church is my lover
I am a Paladin

But, oh, so many nights in prayer in chapel beggin’ please
There must be a better reason to get splinters in my knees
Paladin schmaladin – I want to be … a Pirate!

I wanna swash my buckle and explore my darker side
And if the Lady’s willin’, gonna rip that bodice wide
Wanna trade my blade for a cutlass and get my swarthy on
Paladin schmaladin – I want to be … a Pirate!

All this livin’ sinless … so incredibly dull
I want a tankard of the sweetest ale and drink my belly full
Want to trade my golden crucifix for crossbones and a skull
Paladin schmaladin – I want to be … a Pirate!

I can hear the brothers say, “Be happy with your lot.”
Oh, but how I want to be everything I’m not
Paladin schmaladin – I want to be … a Pirate!

Pillage, loot and plunder – baby, I’m all in
So ready to accept the consequences of my sin
Embrace my innarrgh Pirate, and slay the Paladin!
Paladin schmaladin – I want to be … a Pirate!

So black the tooth and patch the eye
I wanna be that wicked guy
I’m ready for the seven seas
And a right-fine wench to sail with me
C-H-A-S-T-E – that not the “chased” I want to be
Let my heart grow black as coal
Sex and drugs and rock & roll
Paladin schmaladin – I want to be … a Pirate!
