Song Lyrics
Wiggles: Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance

He will show you how

Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance

Captain Feathersword: I will show you now

Fold your arms, in front of you, arr

Start to hop, it's fun to do me hearties

Climb the ropes, come on let's try it

Now you're dancing like a pirate, Wohoo

Wiggles: Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance

He will show you how

Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance

Captain Feathersword: I will show you now

Fold your arms in front of you me hearties

Bounce up and down, it's fun to do, arr

Climb the ropes, come on let's try it

Now your dancing like a pirate, Oh

Wiggles: Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance

He will show you how

Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance

Captain Feathersword: Everybody bow

And give yourself a pirate clap, arr
