The Muppets : A Professional Pirate

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 By working out of doors
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
We're honorable men
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 your a professional pirate 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
Morgan: I could have been in politics
Cause I've always been a big spender
Pirate: 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...

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 fotune and that's what we're proud to be And when your 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
