Sailing For Adventure

by Hans Zimmer & The Muppets

on Muppet Treasure Island (1996)

b>Pirates:
When the course is laid and the anchor's weighed
A sailor's blood begins racing
With our hearts unbound and our flag unfurled
We're under way and off to see the world
Under way and off to see the world!

All:
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing

Pirate:
Manly men are we

All:
Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea!

Mr. Arrow (spoken):
Safely now, Mr. Silver. Let's not get sloppy, just because we're singing!

Pirates:
Danger walks the deck; we say "what the heck!"
We laugh at the perils we're facing

Gonzo:
Every storm we ride is its own reward

Rizzo:
And people die by falling overboard

Pirates:
People die by falling overboard!

All:
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Hoist the sails and sing

Squire Trelawney:
Sailing for adventure on the big, blue wet thing

Bad Polly:
I love to see 'em cry when they walk the plank

Clueless Morgan:
I prefer to cut a throat

Mad Monty:
I love to hang 'em high and watch their little feet try to walk in the air while their faces turn blue

Morgan:
...Just kidding

Polly, Monty, and Morgan:
It's a good life on a boat

Pirates:
There are distant lands with burning sands
That call across the oceans

Rats:
There are bingo games every fun-filled day

Donna:
And margaritas at the midnight buffet

Pirates:
Margaritas at the midnight buffet!

All:
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing

Statler & Waldorf:
Should have took a train

All:
Sailing for adventure on the bounding main!

Jim:
The salty breezes whisper; who knows what lies ahead?
I just know I was born to lead the life my father led

Long John:
The stars will be our compass, wherever we may roam
And our mates will always be
Just like a family
And though we may put into port, the sea is always home!

Squire Trelawney (spoken):
All right, Mr. Bimbo! I didn't know you had such a good singing voice...you're welcome!

Pirates:
We'll chase our dreams standing on our own
Over the horizon to the great unknown

All:
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Bold and brave and free

Pirates:
Sailing for adventure

Rizzo (spoken):
It's so nauseating!

Pirates:
Sailing for adventure

Gonzo (spoken):
So exhilarating!

Pirates:
Sailing for adventure

Rats (spoken):
We're all celebrating

All:
On the deep blue sea!
