I wish have Sid Meier's Pirates.

This made me cry when I watched this :(

(Context they are all going to die of disease, so they decided to sing and record a song for a dear friend of theirs, a Humpback whale, which loved this song to no end. In the end, only one of them "lived")

Past year did fair trade bring me great booty,
I sung a great ballad, t'was a thing of beauty!

But a fluke it was truly, a moment of clear,
Expect'n better this time is impossible I fear.

*clears throat*

A tale young scuttlers, of "Elmofongo the Red",
Who wore a great Sea-Bass on top his head!

"It keeps away Pirates!" he scoffed at every port,
"It's magic, says I! An item hard-fought!"

"A map did I follow, hours spent haulin' in"
"On frosty moonlit night, water icin' skin!"

"But reeling a'board, upwards flung be said"
"It landed straight down and ... got stuck on me head!"

"But long have I worn it, and in every case"
"Each pirate turned tail when met face to face"

But this I can tell ye about that gilled rug,
I know why it worked. Not magic though (that great lug!)

T'was changin' wind that turned pirate to jelly,
Ho! Rotten fish innards can be quite smelly!

Joke about captain (Patrick) who was afraid of pirate ships:

The ship's captain is in his stateroom when his mate comes to say that they spotted a pirate ship coming toward him. The captain rises to the deck, watches the ship in the distance with a telescope and says:
- Bring me my red coat.

The mate question:
- Red coat? But for what?

- Let's fight. If I'm injured, I don't want my crew to see my blood and be afraid. I want them to fight to the end knowing we will win!

The mate picks up his coat and the crew is victorious in battle.

A week later the mate calls again the captain over another pirate ship. The captain looks at the ship again, finds it larger and says:
- Bring me my red coat and my red pants.

The immediate does so, the captain dresses and wages new battle. Once again, they are victorious.

Two weeks later the mate calls back the captain to see another pirate ship.

The captain watches the ship from afar and notices that it is of a colossal size. Says the captain:
- Quick ... Bring me my brown pants.
