Lyrics

Here i stand on the deck of my ship on the spanish main
 i've got a charter in my cabin, signed and sealed by the king of spain
 that his stardard be unfurled past the edge of the world
 i dare not go back again
 history will be kind and bear me in mind
 will you remember my name?
 History book
 history book
 let's take a look
 at my history book
 South devon pirates buccanneers on the panama coast
 with a cargo of potatoes and indian princes
 but what they want the most
 is to fill that hold with spanish gold
 and make proud their boast
 that england will smile on their piracy while
 they drink elisabeth's toast
 History book
 history book
 let's take a look
 at my history book
 Everyday i used to skip to school
 with my history book in my book bag lord
 Everyday i used to skip to school
 with my history book in my book bag...
 What a crashin whata smashin whata magnin ona you fo mine
 what a crashin whata smashin whata magnin ona you fo mine
 Arab trades fly their weapons on the africa shore
 and hapless victums bound in chains on the galleon floor
 that their blood may be spilled in the land of brazil
 and they'll see their homes forlorn
 history will be cruel as it uses this tool
 to shame the new world more
 History book
 ah history book
 let's take a look
 at my history book
 My history book
 my history book
 my history book
 my history book
 my history book
