Muppets Treasure Island – Proffesional Pirate

While the premise of the song is the seduction of Jim into willfully making use of his compass, the real theme is friendship. The ending really takes it home with a smash…

Long John: Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
I say we’re victims of bad press it’s all exaggerated
We’d never stab you in the back, we’d never lie or cheat
We’re just about the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet
Long John’s speech…

All: Hey ho ho
It’s one for all for one
And we’ll share and share alike with you and love you like a son
We’re gentlemen of fortune and that’s what we’re proud to be
And when your a professional pirate

Long John: You’ll be honest brave and free
The soul of decency
You’ll be loyal and fair and on the square
And most importantly

All: When you’re a professional pirate
You’re always in the best of company
