Is It Because I'm a Pirate?

Is it because I'm a pirate?
 Now I've done a string of horrible things
 Like murdering, pillaging and theft
 I've looted the junks in the Straits of Malacca
 Put Spanish explorers to death
 But prejudice would be the ugliest thing
 For a waitress so lovely to feel
 Is it because I'm a pirate
 You seem to have cancelled our date?
 And is it because I'm a pirate
 That now it's a quarter to eight?
 Your prejudice turns you against me
 But I am prepared to wait
 "I like your eyepatch!" Who said that?
 I took in your waist then your face
 Floating above me, pouring out tea
 In some Nakameguro place
 And though it was rude to the girl I was with
 I asked if you'd go for a date
 And then when you said you'd be happy to meet
 I dreamed of your breasts and your face
 Is it because I'm a pirate
 You seem to have cancelled our date?
 Your prejudice turned you against me
 And now it's a quarter past eight
 A stereotype would be ugly
 For someone so lovely to propagate
 Of course I am wanted by customs officials
 Of course I'm an international fugitive
 When not slitting throats of the people in boats
 I am kind and surprisingly sensitive
 Set your mind free, as I know you can
 One day you may see me as just another man
 Is it because I'm a pirate
 I seem to be stood up again?
 And is it because I'm a pirate
 It's already quarter to ten?
 Life is too short, I am too great
 For a waitress so lovely to hate
 But I am prepared to wait
