"Sailing for Adventure" is a song sung by the cast in the 1996 film Muppet Treasure Island as they cast off to sea. It also appears as a cover version during the music album Disney's Ultimate Swashbuckler 10-Song CD Collection as well as Pirates of the Caribbean: Swashbuckling Sea Songs (albeit a slightly edited version).
Lyrics[]
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
Calico:
We're under way and off to see the world
Pirates:
Under way and off to see the world
Pirates & Crew:
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Mudwell the Mudbunny:
Manly men are we
Pirates & Crew:
Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea
Mr. Arrow: (speaking) Safely now, Mr Silver. Let's not get sloppy just because we're singing.
Long John Silver: (speaking) Aye, aye, sir!
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
Pirates & Crew:
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Hoist the sails and sing
Trelawny:
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
Clueless Morgan: (speaking) Just kidding!
All three:
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 Plagueman:
And Margaritas at the midnight buffet
Pirates:
Margaritas at the midnight buffet
Pirates & Crew:
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Statler & Waldorf:
Should have took a train
Pirates & Crew:
Sailing for adventure on the bounding main
Jim Hawkins:
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
Trelawny: (speaking) Alright, 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
Pirates & Crew:
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Bold and brave and free
Sailing for adventure
Rizzo:
It's so nauseating
Pirates:
Sailing for adventure
Gonzo:
So exhilarating
Pirates:
Sailing for adventure
Rats:
We're all celebrating
Pirates, Crew & Rats:
On the deep blue sea!
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
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Manly men are we
Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea
Danger walks the deck
We say, "What the heck"
We laugh at the perils we're facing
Every storm we ride has its own reward
And people die by falling overboard
People die by falling overboard
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Hoist the sails and sing
Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing
(most of the verse cut in the Swashbuckling Sea Songs album)
I love to see them cry when they walk the plank
I prefer to cut a throat
I love to hang 'em high and watch their little feet try to walk in the air
While their faces turn blue
Just kidding!
(uncut in the Swashbuckling Sea Songs album)
It's a good life on a boat
There are distant lands with burning sands
That call across the oceans
There are bingo games every fun-filled day
And Margaritas at the midnight buffet
Margaritas at the midnight buffet
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Should have took a train
Sailing for adventure on the bounding main
The salty breezes whisper
Who knows what lies ahead?
We just know we were born to lead
The life our fathers led
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
We'll chase our dreams standing on our own
Over the horizon to the great unknown
Hey ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Bold and brave and free
Sailing for adventure
Sailing for adventure
Sailing for adventure
On the deep blue sea!
Trivia[]
- When the song was shown on the Muppet Sing Alongs version of Muppet Treasure Island, Polly Lobster, Clueless Morgan, and Mad Monty's verse was cut.
- Also when the Ultimate Swashbuckler version was included on the album Swashbuckling Sea Songs, most of the verse based on the part sung by Polly Lobster, Clueless Morgan, and Mad Monty was cut, shortening it to "It's a good life on a boat" (and also the line "Just kidding!") to censor part of the song for said album and to make it suitable for younger listeners. Additionally, several of the spoken lines said by the Muppets were omitted in both versions (Ultimate Swashbuckler and Swashbuckling Sea Songs) to omit any reference to the characters.
