Shiver My Timbers



"Shiver My Timbers" is the initial song in Muppet's Treasure Island. This song is sung while Captain Flint leads his fifteen men to the cave where they end burying the treasure only to be killed by their captain.

Lyrics
Pirates: Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul Yo ho heave ho There are men whose hearts are as black as coal Yo ho heave ho

Inkspots: And they sailed their ship cross the ocean blue A blood-thirsty captain and a cut-throat crew Alligator: It's as dark a tale as was ever told Of the lust for treasure and the love of gold

Pirates: Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides Yo ho heave ho There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides Yo ho heave ho

Possums: And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum Monkey: The devil himself would have to call them scum Crabs: Every man aboard would have killed his mate For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight Alligator: A piece of eight Octopus: A piece of eight Mosquitos: Five, six, seven, eight Stone Faces: Hulla wacka ulla wacka something not right Many wicked icky things gonna happen tonight Hulla wacka ulla wacka sailor man beware Crabs: When there's money in de ground dere's murder in de air Totems: Murder in de air Stone Faces: One more time now

Pirates: Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones Yo ho heave ho There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones Yo ho heave ho

Snakes: When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed There's no turning back from any course that's laid Skulls: And when greed and villainy sail the sea You can bet your boots there'll be treachery

Pirates: Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails Dead mean tell no tales
