The plume of the Pirate Dowdee . His coat it was handsome and cut with a slash , And often as ever he twirled his mustache Deep down in the ocean the mermaids went splash , Because of Don Durk of Dowdee . Moreover , Dowdee had a purple tattoo , And stuck in his belt where he buckled it through Were a dagger , a dirk and a squizzamaroo , For fierce was the Pirate Dowdee . So fearful was he , he would shoot at a puff , And always at sea when the weather grew rough He drank from a bottle and wrote on his cuff , Did Pirate Don Durk of Dowdee . Oh , he had a cutlass that swung at his thigh And he had a parrot called Pepperkin Pye , And a zigzaggy scar at the end of his eye Had Pirate Don Durk of Dowdee . He kept in a cavern , this buccaneer bold , A curious chest that was covered with mold , And all of his pockets were jingly with gold ! Oh , jing ! went the gold of Dowdee . His conscience , of course , it was crook'd like a squash , But both of his boots made a slickery slosh , And he went through the world with a wonderful swash , Did Pirate Don Durk of Dowdee . It ' s true he was wicked as wicked could be , His sins they outnumbered a hundred and three , But , oh , he was perfectly gorgeous to see , The Pirate Don Durk of Dowdee .
