Written by Gilbert & Sullivan, Trevor Farrant, and Peter Sullivan
Sung by Ted Hamilton and the Pirates

Pirates:
With cat-like tread,
Upon our prey we steal;
In silence dread,
Our cautious way we feel.
No sound at all!
We never speak a word;
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard--

Police:
Tarantara, tarantara!

Pirates:
So stealthily the pirate creeps,
While all the household soundly sleeps.
Come, friends, who plough the sea,
Steady navigation;
Take another station;
Let's vary piracy
With a little lechery!
