Everyone Shouted "Huzzah!" (for Pirate Jake)

A pirate arrived at the famed pearly gates.
and wondered if it was a sin
to sneak into heaven, the bilge rat he was.
He nervously gulped and stepped in.
All heaven grew silent, and gave him a stare,
The angel choirs halted mid-chord.
He thought he was done for, when Gabriel stepped up
and bellowed out “Welcome Aboard.”

That’s when everyone shouted Huzzah!
And everyone shouted Yo Ho.
He knew then and there all he need to know
When everyone shouted Huzzah.
That’s when everyone shouted Ahoy!
And everyone stood up to cheer.
He knew there was room here for one buccaneer.
When everyone shouted Huzzah.

Some saints and he dabbled in swashbuckling tales,
adventures all fit to astound,
of treasures once lost and then found and then lost,
yet one most important one found.
Then Peter showed up with some good sasparil,
And pop! went a bottle of foam.
He said, “Here’s to pirates with hearts of pure gold,
And deckhands who welcome them home.”

That’s when everyone shouted Huzzah!
And everyone shouted Yo Ho.
He knew then and there all he need to know
When everyone shouted Huzzah.
Even Mark Luke and John sang Ahoy!
And David himself led a cheer.
He knew there was room here for one buccaneer.
When everyone shouted Huzzah.
It turns out that heaven’s a place
Full of scallywags, scoundrels, and grace.

A pirate was welcomed in heaven tonight,
A diamond, but one in the rough.
He said, “I’m a pirate.” Then Jesus said back,
Me, too. And that is enough.

That’s when everyone shouted Huzzah!
And everyone shouted Yo Ho.
He knew then and there all he need to know
When everyone shouted Huzzah.
That’s when everyone shouted Ahoy!
And everyone shouted Three Cheers.
He felt right at home with those old buccaneers.
When everyone shouted Huzzah.
