about

Originally written for the film Muppet Treasure Island, this was the opening song. I grew up with it, so I had to do my own arrangement.

lyrics

Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul,
Yo ho heave ho
There are men whose hearts are as black as coal
Yo ho heave ho
And they sailed their ship across the ocean blue
A bloodthirsty captain and a cutthroat crew
It's as dark a tale as was ever told
About the lust for treasure and the love of gold

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides
Yo ho heave ho
There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides
Yo ho heave ho
And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum
The devil himself would have to call them scum
Every man aboard would have killed his mate
For a bag of pennies or a piece of eight

Whoona waka, woona waka, something not right
Many wiked-icky things gonna happen tonight
Whoona waka, woona waka, sailor man beware
When there's money in the ground, there's murder in the air

Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones
Yo ho, heave ho
There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones
Yo ho Heave Ho
When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed
There's no turning back from any course that's laid
And when greed and villainy sail the seas
You can bet your boots there'll Be treachery

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails
Dead men tell no tales
