Prologue Transcript
Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there, me hearties. I'm Captain Feathersword. And look. (pointing to the Big Red Car) It's the Big Red Car. (looking around) But where are the Wiggles? I wonder if they know the Big Red Car's here? Maybe they lost the Big Red Car! Maybe I should drive it and then they'll know the Big Red Car's safe. (laughs) What a great idea. (getting in the Big Red Car) Oh yes, indeed. What a good idea. Oh, yes. I love driving the Big Red Car. (puts seatbelt on) Oh yes, indeed. (turns the engine on but a sputtering noise is heard, singing in high-pitched voice) Toot, toot, chugga, chugga, Big Red Car. We'll travel near and we'll travel far. Toot, toot, chugga, chugga, Big Red Car. We'll travel near and we'll travel far. (Sputtering noise is heard again) It doesn't seem to be working. (The spluttering noise continues, in normal voice) I mean, it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I can fix the Big Red Car for the Wiggles. That's a great idea. (taking seatbelt off and getting out from the Big Red Car) I'll fix the Big Red Car and they'll be so proud. (walking over to the back) Oh, yes. Captain Feathersword fixes the Big Red Car. What a great idea. (humming while fixing the Big Red Car) Come on, Big Red Car, go. Oh yes. Let's go, Big Red Car. (popping out) I think I found the problem! (laughing and goes back fixing but he pops back out with soot all over face coughing) Maybe I should stick to fixing pirate ships. ''(laughs nervously.)

Lyrics
Captain Feathersword's sailing on the ocean waves.

Captain Feathersword: (laughing)

The boat's getting rocked but the Captain's happy and brave.

Captain Feathersword: (laughing)

And from every wharf and pier

You can hear everybody cheer

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go Captain Feathersword, ahoy!

Captain Feathersword: (laughing)

The wind it blew and the rain fell on the boat

Captain Feathersword: Oh, our friendly pirate ship is barely staying afloat (laughing)

And from every wharf and pier

You can hear the crowd all cheer

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go Captain Feathersword, ahoy!

Captain Feathersword: (laughing)

See Captain Feathersword he's scrubbing all the decks

Captain Feathersword: Whoa!

See him hoist the sail, and climb the mast

Captain Feathersword: (laughing) Oh, look out!

Watch him dance, in his pirate pants

Captain Feathersword: Wibbly, wobbly, whoa-ho-hey!

Now I'm gonna dance all day!

Now the sun is shining and boat's back on its course

Captain Feathersword says:

It feels like I'm riding a horse

And from every wharf and pier,

You can hear the crowd all cheer

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go Captain Feathersword, ahoy!

Captain Feathersword: (laughing)

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go, Captain, go (Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there!)

Go Captain Feathersword, ahoy!

Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there, me hearties!
