Yes, but was Punch REALLY pleased? Was Punch the one punching Judy? If that were the case, then we've got a whole domestic violence issue here...man, this could get complex.
Rum Punch? Yo-Ho! A Pirate's life for me!
(but in my heart, I'm really a Pirate who don't do anything...)
Not that there's anything ~wrong~ with that!
Um... I just looked it up. Rather gruesome little puppet-plays. Apparently Punch usually ends up killing most of the other characters in the show, all the while very pleased with himself. Several sources say it is indeed the source for that phrase.
I'm a pirate who doesn't do anything! I mean, I've never kissed a chipmunk... I don't look good in leggings... I've never been to Boston in the fall...
Why, yes, I am a pirate. :-)
One of the best songs ever:
A pirate looks at 40
Jimmy Buffett
Mother, mother ocean
I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you
Switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams
Yes I am a pirate
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smugglin'
And I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
I go for younger women
Lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother, mother ocean
After all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
