    by Tim Curry (Long John Silver) and the Pirates
    CD: Muppet Treasure Island (soundtrack)
    I DO NOT OWN MUPPETS OR THIS SONG!

    Enjoy!
    (LYRICS!) Everyone wanted me to post the lyrics :)
    Long John Silver: 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"
    Pirates: Hey ho ho
    You'll cruise to foreign shores
    And you'll keep your mind and body sound
    By working out of doors
    Long John Silver: True friendship and adventure are what we can't live without
    All: And when you're A Professional Pirate
    Polly Lobster: That's what the job's about
    Long John Silver: "Upstage, lads, this is my ONLY number!"
    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 good
    And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood
    Pirates: Hey ho ho We're honorable men
    And before we lose our tempers we will always count to ten
    Long John Silver: On occasion there may be someone you have to execute
    All: But when your a professional pirate
    Clueless Morgan: You don't have to wear a suit..... what?
    Mad Monty: I could have been a surgeon I like taking things apart
    Polly Lobster: I could have been a lawyer But I just had too much heart
    Morgan: I could have been in politics Cause I've always been a big spender
    Black Eyed Pea: And me...I could have been a contender
    "All Laughs"
    Long John Silver: 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 Speaks...)
    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 fotune and that's what we're proud to be
    And when your a professional pirate.
    Long John Silver: 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.

    I saw a great comment that described what made Tim Curry's performance so spectacular was that instead of viewing the muppets as fellow actors, he just viewed himself as a fellow muppet and i think that's absolutely accurate.

      ​@@IzeldrakYes! Whoever said it was absolutely correct.
      The way Tim Curry kisses Misd Piggy in this film is exactly as a Muppet would.
      The way Michael Caine threatens and shouts at his bookkeeping staff and Kermit as Bob Crachit, you believe he's in the same style if Christmas Carol as Patrick Stewart's version.

      What's great is he could have turned in the exact same performance in a serious adaptation of Treasure Island and it would have worked just as well. He's hamming it up but he also plays the character straight.

      @@AnEnemySpy456 Tim Curry brought such a charisma to Long John Silver, totally in line with the original novel. In the book the rest of the crew were still so conflicted by the end, because Long John was such a likeable guy. I've read the book so many times, and every time I do I still question which parts he was just manipulating Jim and the times he genuinely cared for him, which is a mark of a great character. Curry absolutely nails that aspect. He's definitely hamming it up with the Muppets (and having the time of his life doing so too, clearly), but you're right, he could give this same performance in a serious adaptation, and have it work.

    You know, the funny thing is, even before I watched Muppet Treasure Island, I always read Long John Silver's lines with Tim Curry's voice in my head. He just has that Tim Curry-esque vibe about him. So of course, Tim Curry was pitch perfect casting for Long John Silver.

    Looking back one of the amazing things about this sequence is how the pirates are (whether meaning to or not) actually playing to Jim's desire at the beginning of the film for something more than a life of scrubbing floors.
    He lived a life that felt dull and uninteresting and is now being offered a life of adventure.
    Long John even plays on the fact that Jim probably won't receive a share of the treasure even if he works with the captain instead.
    Watching this is a kid I thought it was just bad guys spouting nonsense to get their way, but now I can see where there's some genuine temptation going on.

      My boy, why not consider a more challenging career?"
      [PIRATES]
      Hey ho ho!
      You'll cruise to foreign shores
      (HAHAHAH!)
      And you'll keep your mind and body sound

      By working out of doors

      Upstage, lads. This is my only number
      (Sung)
      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 good
      And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood

      (Spoken)
      And me, I could've been a contender
      [LONG JOHN]
      Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
      I say we're victims of bad press that's all exaggerated
      We never stab you in the back, we never lie or cheat
      We're just, in fact, the nicest guy you ever want to meet

      Tell the truth, lad. Do you really think the Captain and the Squire are planning to share the treasure with the likes of us? And we being the rightful owners, who shed our blood getting it here. Join us lad. Donate your compass to the treasure hunt and get a full share!

    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
    When you're a professional pirate
    You're always in the best of company
