Biografía:
The Arrogant Worms are a Canadian musical comedy trio that parodies many musical genres. They are well known for their humorous on-stage banter in addition to their music.
The Worms came together in 1991 to do a few spots on campus radio station CFRC in Kingston, Ontario, and quickly moved to doing spots on the CBC Radio One. Since 1992, the troupe has released 11 albums on their own label and one compilation album under Oglio Records. Their most recent album, Torpid, was released in late 2008.

[Verse]
C F G C
Well, I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
F C G
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
C F G C
But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't there
F C G C
And bankers came and took my land and told me "Fair is Fair"
Am D
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always "No",
Am G
"Hire you now" they'd always laugh, "We just let twenty go!" (Haha)
Am D
The government, they promised me a measley little sum,
Am G
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum!
F F C
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone,
G
I'm gonna be a pirate, on the river Saskatchewan!
[Chorus]
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) comin' down the plains,
F C G
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) farmers bar yer doors,
F C G C
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
(Repeat the first half of the chorus without lyrics once, then play C for two measures.)
C F G C
Well, you think the local farmers would know that I'm at large,
F C G
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge,
C F G C
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
F C G C
I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole the fertilizer
Am D
A bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans the mighty river,
Am G
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomaches are a quiver,
Am D
'Cause they know that Captain Tractor's hiding in the bay,
Am G
I'll jump the bridge and knock 'em cold and sail off with their hay!
[Chorus]
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) comin' down the plains,
F C G
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) farmers bar yer doors,
F C G C
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
C F G C
Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat,
F C G
He followed on the shorelines 'cause he didn't own a boat,
C F G C
But cut-backs were a comin' and the Mountie lost his job,
F C G C
So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob!
Am D
A swingin' sword and skull and bones are pleasant company,
Am G (Mute)
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!)
Am D
Salin' down to Saskatoon, the Terror of the Sea,
Am G
If you wanna reach the Co-op boy you gotta get by me!
[Chorus]
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) comin' down the plains,
F C G
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) farmers bar yer doors,
F C G C
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
C F G C
Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here,
F C B
I hear in North Alberta there's a band of buccaneers,
C F G C
They roam the Athabasca from Smith to Port McKay,
F C G C
And you're gonna lose your stetson if you have to pass their way.
Am D
Well, winter is a comin' and a chill is in the breeze,
Am G
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze,
Am D
But I'll be back in springtime but now I have to go,
Am G
I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico!
[Chorus]
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) comin' down the plains,
F C G
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
(Mute) C (Mute) C F G C
And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) farmers bar yer doors,
F C G C
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
And it's a Heave (HO) High (HO) comin' down the plains,
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
And it's a Ho (HEY!) High (HEY!) farmers bar yer doors,
(Lyrics slow)
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores...
