"Shiver My Timbers" is a song performed by Island Heads at the beginning of the film, Muppet Treasure Island.

Lyrics[]

Pirates:
Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul
Yo ho, heave ho
There are men whose hearts are as black as coal
Yo ho, heave ho

Inkspots:
And they sailed their ship 'cross the ocean blue
A bloodthirsty captain and a cutthroat crew

Crocodile:
It was dark a tale as was ever told
Of the lust for treasure
And the love of gold!

Pirates:
Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides
Yo ho, heave ho
There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides
Yo ho, heave ho

Possums:
And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum

Sal Minella:
The devil himself would have to call them scum

Crabs:
Every man aboard would have killed his mate
For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight

Crocodile:
A piece of eight

Octopus:
 A piece of eight

Mosquitos:
A-five, six, seven, eight!

Stone Faces:
Woona wacka, woona wacka, something not right
Many wicked icky things gonna happen tonight
Woona wacka, woona wacka, sailor man beware!

Crabs:
When de money in the ground, dere's murder in de air

Totems:
Murder in the air

Stone Face:
One more time now!

Pirates:
Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones
Yo ho, heave ho
There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones
Yo ho heave ho

Snakes:
When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed
There's no turning back from any course that's laid

Skulls:
And when greed and villainy sail the sea
You can bet your boots, there'll be treachery!

Pirates:
Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails
Dead men tell no tales!

Trivia[]

  • When the song was included on the album Swashbuckling Sea Songs (using the Ultimate Swashbuckler cover), the lyrics based on the verses sung by the Possums and Sal Minella were cut due to mature themes, leaving the verses instrumental.
