The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything


Fancy

Recommended Posts

Pa Grape, Mr. Lunt, Larry:

We are the pirates who don't do anything

We just stay at home and lie around

And if you ask us to do anything

We'll just tell you

We don't don anything

Pa Grape:

Well I've never been to Greenland

And I've never been to Denver

And I've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul

And I've never been Moscow

And I've never been to Tampa

And I've never been Boston in the fall

Chorus w/ Pa Grape, Mr. Lunt, and Larry

Mr. Lunt:

And I've never hoist the mainstay

And I've never swabbed the poopdeck

And I've never veer to starboard 'cause I never sail at all

And I've never walked the gangplank

And I've never owned a parrot

And I've never been to Boston in the fall

Chorus

Larry:

Well I've never plucked a rooster

And I'm not too good at ping pong

And I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall

And I've never kissed a chipmunk

And I've never gotten head lice

And I've never been to Boston in the fall

Pa Grape: Huh? What are you talkin' about? What's a rooster and mashed potatoes have to do with being a pirate?

Mr. Lunt: Hey, that's right. We're supposed to sing about pirate-y things.

Larry: Oh!

Pa Grape: And whose ever kissed a chipmunk? That's just nonsense! Why even bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?

Mr. Lunt: I think you look like Cap'n Crunch.

Pa Grape: Huh? No, I don't.

Mr. Lunt: Do too.

Pa Grape: Do not.

Mr. Lunt: You're making me hungry.

Pa Grape: That's it. You're walking the plank.

Mr. Lunt: Says who?

Pa Grape: Says the Cap'n, that's who.

Mr. Lunt: Oh yeah? Aye aye, Cap'n Crunch! hehehehe

Pa Grape: Argh!

Mr. Lunt: Yipes!

Larry:

And I've never licked a spark plug

And I've never sniffed a stink bug

And I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball

And I've never bathed in yogurt

And I don't look good in leggings

Pa Grape: You just don't get it.

Pa Grape, Mr. Lunt, and Larry:

And we've never been to Boston in the fall

Pa Grape: Pass the chips! Whose got the remote control?

Larry: Here it is!

Mr. Lunt: Time for Geraldo!

Pa Grape: It's definitely time for Dragnet.

Mr. Lunt: Oh, I don't like this show.

Larry: Hey, look! I found a quarter!

Alright, I'll ask already, because I can't figure it out by me onesies no matter how hard I try ...

Why do the VeggieTales characters SING a song called, "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything," and is the song related to the song by the same title as sung by Reliant K? I have been wondering about this ever since I DLed the Reliant K song some time ago ... but then people keep talking about it being a VeggieTales song, and I've gotten quite confused about the connection ...

"Pirates ... were of that old breed of rover whose port lay always a little farther on, a little beyond the skyline ... if they lived riotously let it be urged in their favor that at least they lived."

~ John Masefield

Veggie Tails did it origionaly, Reliant K covered it. I guess it sorta makes sense, seeing as Reliant K is a Christian band and Veggie Tails is a Christian cartoon, so... yeah. Anyway, both versions rock my socks. :lol:

Everyone loves an Irish girl. ;)

You know, I've lived my life according to those lyrics.

"Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute cebu successful in communicating the imminent danger to the other passengers? Is the boy injured? Why is the sad cebu sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?"

"Oh look! There's me and Bob at Sea World! Oh, wow. Forgot about that one. There's me and that bull again."

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
