Pirate Practice

My sister gifted my offspring with THE GREATEST PIRATE MOVIE EVER yesterday. As of this moment, I have watched this movie 5 times. MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND Rocks!!!

It's kind of odd, the Muppets have had a sudden surge of popularity in my home. I honestly never thought my kids would like the Muppets all that much. Other shows from my childhood that I had hoped my wee ones would love have been met with indifference to outright disdane. A few have made the cut with them (Scooby Doo) but leave me with the urge to shove red hot spoons in my eyes to end the suffering. This of course makes me nostalgic for the old Muppet Show.

Anyway... I've had 'Cabin Fever!' running through my head all morning! And now so you will also... the lyrics!

Cabin Fever
Pirates

I got cabin fever
it's burning in my brain
I've got cabin fever
it's driving me insane
We got cabin fever
we're flipping our bandanas
Been stuck at sea so long that
we have simply gone bananas

Ah!
Chica, chica, boom
Chica, chica, boom, boom, chic
Arriba!
Chica, chica, boom
Chica, chica, boom, boom, chic

We, we, we got cabin fever
we've lost what sense we had
We got cabin fever
we're all going mad

Grab your partner by the ears
Lash him to the wheel
Do-si-do step on his toe
Listen to him squeal
Allemande left, allemande right
It's time to sail or sink
Swing your partner over the side
Drop him in the drink

We got cabin fever
No ifs, ands or buts
We're disoriented
And demented
And a little nuts

Ach du liebe Volkswagen car
Yodel-lay-ee-hoo
Sauerbraten wiener schnitzel
Und wunder bar
Yodel-lay-ee-hoo

We were sailing
sailing the wind was on our side
And then it died

I've got cabin fever
I think I've lost my grip
I'd like to get my hands on
Whoever wrote this script!
Si!

I was floating 'neath a tropic moon
And dreaming of a blue lagoon
Now I'm crazy as a loon

Cabin fever has ravaged all aboard
This once proud vessel
has become a floating psycho ward
We were sailing, sailing
headed who knows where
And now though we're all here
We're not all there

Arriba!
Cabin fever!
Ahh!
