With Cat-like Tread

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 footfall would be distinctly heard.

(So stealthily the pirates creep,
While all the house is sound asleep)

Come, friends who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation! Take another station!
Let’s vary piracy with a little burglary.
Come, friends who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation! Take another station!
Let’s vary piracy with a little burglary.

Here’s your crowbar, and your centrebit,
Your life-preserver: you may want to hit.
Your silent matches, your dark lantern seize.
Take your file and your skeletonic keys.

(Tarantara - With cat-like tread,
Tarantara - In silence dread)

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 footfall would be distinctly heard.

Come, friends who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation! Take another station!
Let’s vary piracy with a little burglary.
With cat-like tread upon our prey we steal,
In silence dread our cautious way we feel.
