fiddle - dee-dee

[Letter5678]

These are the lyrics from a pirate song.
And I just can't understand the meaning of "fiddle - dee-dee", "ahoy and avast", and "dinky-dink-dink a dinkadefast".
Thanks.

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free,You are a pirate!
Yar - Har - fiddle - dee-dee
being a pirate is all right with me!
do what you want'cause a pirate is free
you are a pirate!

Yar - har - fiddle dee-dee
if you love to sail the sea You are a pirate!

Arr-yarr-ahoy and avast dinky-dink-dink a dinkade fast!
hang the black flag at the end of the mast
You are a Pirate!

For ahoy and avast look at these links:

The rest is just nonsense.

 

[bubbha]

"fiddle-dee-dee" and "dinky-dink-dink" are nonsense syllables, like "tra la la".

"avast" means "stop", but we consider it a stereotypical pirate word.

 

[GoesStation]

And ahoy is likewise nautical jargon associated with pirates. It means, approximately, hey, you!

Somebody's been watching Lazy Town.

Don't ask why I recognized the lyrics.
