《Muppet Treasure Island (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)》Long John: When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
My father said "Now, son, this choice deserves deliberation
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
My boy, why not consider a more challenging career?"
Pirates: Hey, ho, ho
You'll cruise to foreign shores
And you'll keep your mind and body sound(Long John: Ha ha ha! Sing it, lads!)
By working out of doors(Long John: Show him you've been practicing!)
Long John: True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without
All: And when you're a professional pirate
Bad Polly: That's what the job's about
Long John: Upstage, lads, this is my only number!
Now, take Sir Francis Drake; the Spanish all despise him
But to the British he's a hero and they idolize him
It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good
And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood!
Pirates: Hey, ho, ho(Long John: Oh, I love it!)
We're honorable men(Long John: 'Tis poetry in motion!)
And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten!
Long John: On occasion there may be someone you have to execute
All: But when you're a professional pirate
Clueless Morgan: You don't have to wear a suit
...What?
Mad Monty: I could have been a surgeon
I like taking things apart!
Bad Polly: I could have been a lawyer
But I just had too much heart
Clueless Morgan: I could have been in politics
'Cause I've always been a big spender
Black-Eyed Pete: And me...I could have been a contender
Long John: Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
I say we're victims of bad press; it's all exaggerated
We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat
We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet!
*Long John's speech
tell the truth that,
do you really think the captain and the squire are planning to share the treasure
with the likes of us
and we'vebeen the rightful owners
who's *** blood getting in here
join us lad donate
your compass to the treasure hunt and ****
All: Hey, ho, ho
It's one for all for one
And we'll share-and-share-alike with you and love you like a son
We're gentlemen of fortune and that's what we're proud to be
And when you're a professional pirate
Long John: You'll be honest, brave, and free
The soul of decency
You'll be loyal and fair and on the square
And most importantly—
All: When you're a professional pirate
You're always in the best of company!
