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