Sailing for Adventure Lyrics by The Muppets

Muppet Treasure Island

1996

[PIRATES]
When the course is laid and the anchor's weighed
A sailor's blood begins racing
With our hearts unbound and our flag unfurled
[PIRATE]
We're on our way and off to see the world
[COMPANY]
On our way and off to see the world
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
[PIRATE]
Manly men are we
[COMPANY]
Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea
[SAM/MR. ARROW]
(spoken)
Safely now, Mr. Silver! Let's not get sloppy just because we're singing!
[PIRATES]
Danger walks the deck, we say "What the heck?"
We laugh at the perils we're facing
[GONZO]
Every storm we ride is its own reward
[RIZZO]
And people die by falling overboard
[COMPANY]
People die by falling overboard
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Hoist the sails and sing
[FOZZIE/SQUIRE TRELAWNEY]
Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing
[POLLY]
I love to see them cry when they walk the plank
[CLUELESS]
I prefer to cut a throat
[MAD MONTY]
I love to hang 'em high and watch their little feet try to walk in the air while their faces turn blue
[CLUELESS]
(spoken)
Just kidding. Haha
[ALL THREE]
It's a good life on a boat
[COMPANY]
There are distant lands with burning sands
That call across the ocean
[RATS]
There are bingo games every fun-filled day
[FEMALE RAT]
And margaritas at the midnight buffet
[COMPANY]
Margaritas at the midnight buffet
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
[STATLER and WALDORF/FIGUREHEADS]
Should have took the train!
[COMPANY]
Sailing for adventure on the bounding main
[JIM]
The salty breezes whisper
Who knows what lies ahead?
I just know I was born to lead
The life my father led
[LONG JOHN]
The stars will be our compass
Wherever we may roam
And our mates will always be
Just like a family
And though we may put in to port
The sea is always home
[FOZZIE/SQUIRE TRELAWNEY]
(spoken)
All right, Mr. Bimbo. I didn't know you had such a good singing voice! ... You're welcome!
[COMPANY]
We'll chase our dreams standing on our own
Over the horizon to the great unknown
Hey, ho, we'll go
Anywhere the wind is blowing
Home and brave and free!
[COMPANY]
Sailing for adventure-
[RIZZO]
It's so nauseating!
[COMPANY]
Sailing for adventure-
[GONZO]
So exhilarating!
[COMPANY]
Sailing for adventure-
[RATS]
We're all celebrating!
[COMPANY]
On the deep blue sea!
