Lyrics[]
We are rough, tough, burly sailors
As tall as we are wide
And the ocean's just an itty-bitty pond
With Gummies on the other side
We are rough, tough, burly sailors
We are rough, tough, burly guys
And we sail the seas on the salty breeze
Eating Gummiberry Pies
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We are rough, tough, burly sailors
We're a rough, tough, burly crew
To stay big and burly, we get up early
And eat burly barley stew!
We are rough, tough, burly sailors
We love to tell tall tales
Of sailing ships, of mermaid's lips
And taming killer whales
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We are rough, tough, burly sailors
Don't ever call us dumb
We hammer and hammer on the old windjammer
But we never smash our thumbs (Ouch!)
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
