Lyrics to Steely Dan's Hey Nineteen from the album Gaucho (1980) translated into pirate speak

Now you can truly say you HAVE seen everything!!

Way aft when
In Sixty-se'en
I be th' dandy
O' Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young an' willin'
Moved down t' Scarsdale
'ere th' hell be I
Ahoy Nineteen
Nay we canna dance together
Nay we canna talk at all
Please take me along
When ye slide on down

Ahoy Nineteen
That`s `Retha Franklin
She dasn't reckon
Th' Queen o' Soul
`Tis hard times befallen
Th' sole survivors
She thinks I be crazy
But I be jus' growin' old

Ahoy Nineteen
Nay we got nothin' in common
Nay we canna talk at all
Please take me along
When ye slide on down

Th' Cuervo Dubloon
Th' fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thin'

Nay we canna dance together
Nay we canna talk at all
