Post by bunniefuu »

firing the captain's gone barbie know

what he's done this afternoon we're

walking through the town quite natural

like when he spots his ear jewelers shop

with a whopping great ruby necklace in

the window oh oh says the captain jewels

is just the thing in these uncertain

times so in he goes the jeweler brings

out the necklace the captain takes one

look at it in a moment later out we

comes with a booty smart work nice bit

of breaking entry that armed robbery

robbery nothing master mate blew me well

paid for it

[Music]

the captain's sudden decision to quit

piracy and go straight came as a rude

shock to the pirates but there was no

doubt about it his mind was made up

way the anchor tom we're about to set

sail on an honest trading expedition

hey

you use cabbie tattering turtles it's

the port authority what can they want

with an upright citizen like me

ahoy there black pig we're coming aboard

what have i done

robbed a poor innocent tradesman by the

side of it string of rubies wasn't it

you said i grabbed it from me with

menaces by a pirate that he is nonsense

rubbish i pay for it i

where is it now galloping goldfish it's

gone huh so you've hit me today you can

drop that anchor again boy you're

staying here captain while we search the

ship

so tom let the anchor down again the

officer and his men began their search

of the ship

first they frisked every member of the

crew

stop it you didn't know give it over i'm

ticklish

then they set about the ship itself

they searched every drawer every locker

every nook and cranny in the captain's

cabin

they looked under the bunks and in the

buns and got quite a few surprises

but there was no sign of the necklace

oh dear

careful

they're the ring dog fisher i don't even

know where it is myself

they searched every stitch of the

ringing in the sails

[Music]

served him right blooming lad lover they

examined all the cannons

they searched the immersed quarters of

the ship

they explored the powder magazine

they rummaged through the ship's stores

they gutted the galley

but they couldn't find that ruby

necklace anywhere

ship search complete sir not a ruby

insight stop

battling mud locks it must be somewhere

very well captain either you've thrown

it overboard or this fella's lying you

better be off

back to the shore man

and the soldiers rode back the way

they'd come leaving a very disgruntled

captain behind them i don't know

my first honest act in a lifetime and

look what happens i pay for the necklace

and it vanishes

any of you know where it is haven't you

glow gapping nor me cross the arc cap

captain i'm as misty fistified as you

are

oh very well the way the anchor again

tom there's no point in staying here

right here captain

only i'll tell you one thing

the anchor away a bit more than it did

last time

see what i mean whoa look at that hey

hey the rubies

easy cap

you dropped them and i picked them up

hung them on the anchor before i let it

go and there they are bravo tom oh

that'll teach them but even so if that's

the best treatment an honest man can

expect i'm taking to piracy again
