“Ahoy there, me hearties. Come for a trip with me,
Captain Feathersword, on my friendly pirate ship.
Whoa ho ho, but look out – it's leaking”
When the Captain was a young boy
He wanted to sail around the world
“That’s the life for me, whoa ho
Living on the sea. Whoo hoo hoo hoo.”
The spirit of a sailor, sailing all around the globe
“Round and round. I’m a buccaneer. Whoa ho.
I’ll acknowledge no frontier. Whoo hoo hoo hoo.”
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
(Oh, thunderclap)
Lightning flash, tempers flare
Round Cape Horn, if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat (Whoo hoo hoo)
La da da da da da da da do do do do-doh
Aoteroa ( “Oh look, there’s New Zealand”)
Rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl (“Oh so shiny, whoa ho”)
At the bottom of the world
(“Oh, down under. Yeah.”)
The tyranny of distance (“Such a long way!”)
Didn’t stop the buccaneer
“So why should it stop me?
Whoa ho. I’m sailing to be free. Whoo hoo hoo.”
Ah, c’mon all you lads
Let’s forget and forgive
There’s a world to explore (“Let’s go exploring”)
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat (“Whoa ho”)
Six months in a leaky boat (“Whoa ho ho”)
La da da da da da da da do do do do-doh
"Come on now, me hearties. Let’s do a pirate dance.
Yo ho ho. Whoo hoo hoo. Oh, bend your knees now.
That’s right. Whoa ho ho!
Now, you’re really dancing.
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo. Oh, well done, me hearties.”
Ah, c’mon all you lads
Let’s forget and forgive
There’s a world to explore (“Oh, let's explore”)
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat (“Whoa ho!”)
Nothing to it, leaky boat (“Oh no. Whoo hoo hoo!”)
La da da da da da da da do do do do-doh...
