 Take It Back - Jimmy Buffett

Open season on the open seas and 
Captain says no prisoners please 
Skull and crossbones on a background of black 
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back 

Chorus: 
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back 
Very simple plan of attack 
It's our job and a labor of love 
Take it home to the up above 
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back 
Very simple statement of fact 
Call it pillage or call it plunder 
We're takin' it back from them boys down under 

Hit us hard, took our treasure 
That was the worst thing they could do 
It will be our great pleasure 
To take it back from that Captain Kangaroo 

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of suds 
It's a pirates fight we choose 
No we don't want a bucket of blood 
Just a cup is all we could use 
Just a cup 

The sails are up and the bets are down 
Let's lighten up this harbor town 
By hook or crook or new design 
We're streakin' for that finish line 

Chorus: 
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back 
Very simple plan of attack 
It's our job and a labor of love 
Take it home to the up above 
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back 
Very simple statement of fact 
Call it pillage or call it plunder 
We're takin' it back from them boys down under 

-- Spoken: 
"We ask ourselves when we get in a fix 
What would Popeye do in a tight spot like this 
He'd race for his true love and easily win it 
In an old spinach can with a mast stuck in it" 

Lift us up, take us high 
Time to let our spirits fly 
Lift us up, take us high 
Let us sail until we die 

Lift us up, take us high 
Let us float above the foam 
Let our sails fill the sky 
We are takin' our sweet treasure home 

Take it back 
We're takin' it baaaaaaaack 
Take it back!

Looks very similar to my SkyHawk. I love my SkyHawk so I would think this is a great watch as well.

I have the older Stars and Stripes Citizen...so I automatically love this one too. I got mine 50% off...this one will cost more I assume....

I just found this forum and couldn't be happier. I am a life long sailor and long time watch collector. As a result of these two passions, I have Stars and Stripes '92 and '94 campaign watches by Citizen. I am looking to round out my collection. I know there is a '00 and '03 model as well as the 25th Anniversary model. Are there any other ones out there that I am missing? Thanks.

Welcome aboard mate. Great forum here. I'm a lifetime sailor too, but only sail in those contraptions that have big motors in 'em, lol.
