This is a fun song that could have been by Jimmy Buffett.
Rum Is The Reason (Songwriters: Toby Keith, Bobby Pinson)
I heard Davey Crockett had a pint in his pocket, good whiskey at the AlamoNow that Pancho Villa had a jug of tequilaWhen he walked the streets of old MexicoWhile Blackbeard was fleecing around the hurricane seasonHe didn't quit because of a girlYeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the worldWhile Russia was brawlingI'll bet that old Stalin was calling for a vodka martiniWhile the world waited in fearOld Hitler drank beer from a stein, eating sauerkraut and weeniesYeah, down through the ages, as they're turning their pagesThey couldn't drink the diamonds and pearlsNo, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the worldI ain't getting much done, but I'm having fun sailing on the deep blue seaMy whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum, and the sun sinking down on meMy catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libre chasing down with a 12-ounce curlYeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the worldI ain't getting much done, but I'm having fun sailing on the deep blue seaMy whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum, and the sun sinking down on meMy catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libre chasing down with a 12-ounce curlOh, rum is the reason, I guessHey, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

Yes I can see that on a Jimmy Buffett playlist with our Special Guest Toby Keith. RIP both of you, may the spirit(s) continue.
Methinks someone has forgotten the British rum ration of MANY years!
@matism, I think there's a different song for the Royal Navy.
