A/N: My sister is amazed that this idea, which she thought was very strange, is getting such a response! Well, I had a couple of people tell me I should tackle a song from Muppet Treasure Island next – so here we go.
Clez – Such compliments!Really, I'm flattered.Pray continuing!
funyun – Silly songs with Rodney! Yay! Erm… XD doesn't stand for anything. It's an extremely overjoyed smiley.
morph – Absurd? Is that a good thing? Ooh, crazy funny. Huzzah!
Raven Silvers – Wow. I'm on your favorites list now? I'm flattered. [Again.]
Chasten-chan – Stop falling! You're going to hurt yourself! XD I've never seen Buffy the Musical. [I only watch Angel, hence "Welcome to My World."] Sorry 'bout that.
Lily Bengal – The Hairbrush song is quite amusing when done in a Cockney accent, innit?
elven-emma – Tater tots indeed! [Yum… now I'm hungry…]
Disclaimer: Still own nothing, probably won't ever own anything. Ah, oh well. And now the moment you've all been waiting for… the song is A Professional Pirate from Muppet Treasure Island. [And there was much rejoicing… Yay.]
[Today we find Sawyer, Quatermain and Nemo wandering aimlessly around the Nautilus. Sawyer is very bored, and perhaps still recovering from the hairbrush incident, and decides to strike up some conversation.]
Sawyer: So, captain, I heard a rumor somewhere that you're a pirate. That ain't true, is it?
Quatermain: [chuckles]
Nemo: Perhaps I am.
Sawyer: You're not a pirate… pirates are… are…
Nemo: [sighs] Allow me to educate you about pirates, Agent Sawyer.
[music begins] When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
My father said, "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
My boy, why not consider a more challenging career?"
Crew [come rushing from all directions]: Hey ho ho
You'll cruise to foreign shores
And you'll keep your mind and body sound
By working out of doors
Nemo: True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without
All: And when you're a professional pirate
Ishmael: That's what the job's about
Nemo: Upstage, lads, this is my only number! [A few crewmembers hoist him onto a nearby table]
Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him
But to the British he's a hero and they idolize him
It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or goodAnd I see us as members of a noble brotherhood
Crew: Hey ho ho
We're honorable men
And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten
Nemo: On occasion there may be someone you have to execute
All: But when you're a professional pirate
Skinner [who is devoid of all clothes]: You don't have to wear a suit... [the crew glare at the place Skinner's voice came from] What?
Crewmember #1 [a rather scary-looking individual]: I could have been a surgeon
I like taking things apart!
Ishmael: I could have been a lawyer
But I just had too much heart
Crewmember #2: I could have been in politics
Cause I've always been a big spender
Crewmember #3: And me... I could have been a contender
Nemo: 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
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 you're a professional pirate
Nemo: 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[The crew then disperses as if this musical number never took place]
Nemo [hops off the table]: Now, what were you saying about pirates?
A/N: Ah. I love that movie. Next up, I have a song in mind for Mina. ::evil-type laughter:: Until next time!
