Lyrics[]
Captain Hook: Blast it all! I'm sick of this false tales about me!
The great and glorious Captain Hook
Should be celebrated in verse
Not snickered about in a fairy tale
Where they call me a codfish or worse
Sharky and Bones: Or worse
Captain Hook: All these fables and fibs are untrue
Sharky and Bones: So untrue
Captain Hook: So there's only one thing left to do
Destroy the book, destroy the book!
A bumbler, outrageous, rip out all the pages
Sharky and Bones: And destroy the book!
Captain Hook: So that nobody reads it again
Sing it, boys!
Sharky and Bones: The great and glorious Captain Hook
So elegant and dreadful is he
Captain Hook: That I am.
Sharky and Bones: He might be dishonest
But that book is lying
Captain Hook: And making a ninny of me
I'm misrepresented
Sharky and Bones: Oh, how he resented
Captain Hook: It's false and fictitious
Sharky and Bones: It'll swim with the fishes
Captain Hook: And they'll call me a codfish no more
Destroy the book, destroy the book!
A bumbler, outrageous, rip out all the pages
Sharky and Bones: And destroy the book!
Captain Hook: So that nobody reads it again
Nobody reads it again
Destroy the book, destroy the book!
Sharky and Bones: It's a lie, it's absurd
Captain Hook: I'll unwrite every word I'll swipe it, you'll see
And then I'll guarantee that nobody
Sharky and Bones: Nobody
Captain Hook: Reads it
I mean nobody
Sharky and Bones: Nobody
Captain Hook: Reads it again
All: Destroy the book!
