We're no strangers to this cove
You know the pirate code and so do I
A pile of treasure is what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other pi…. rate
I just want you in my alliance
Gotta make you my crew
Never gonna brig you up
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna sail around and maroon you
Never gonna steal your chest
Never gonna snatch your skull
Never gonna blow a keg and hurt you
We've known the song for so long
Your ships been aching but you're too shy to fix it
Inside we both know where the planks are
We know the music and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me if I'm a guardian
Don't tell me you're too low for me
Never gonna brig you up
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna sail around and maroon you
Never gonna steal your chest
Never gonna snatch your skull
Never gonna blow a keg and hurt you
Never gonna brig you up
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna sail around and maroon you
Never gonna steal your chest
Never gonna snatch your skull
Never gonna blow a keg and hurt you
Never gonna brig, Never gonna brig
(Brig you up)
(Ooh) Never gonna brig, never gonna brig
(Brig you up)
We've known the song for so long
Your ships been aching but you're too shy to fix it
Inside we both know where the planks are
We know the music and we're gonna play it
I just want you in my alliance
Gotta make you my crew
Never gonna brig you up
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna sail around and maroon you
Never gonna steal your chest
Never gonna snatch your skull
Never gonna blow a keg and hurt you
Never gonna brig you up
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna sail around and maroon you
Never gonna steal your chest
Never gonna snatch your skull
Never gonna blow a keg and hurt you
Never gonna brig you up
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna sail around and maroon you
Never gonna steal your chest
Never gonna snatch your skull
Never gonna blow a keg and hurt you
