Stories and Songs: The Adventures of Captain Feathersword the Friendly Pirate
CHORUS
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
He will show you how
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
"I will show you now"
Fold your arms in front of you
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
CHORUS
Fold your arms in front of you me hearties
Bounce up and down, it's fun to do
Climb the ropes
Come on let's try it
Now you're dancing like a pirate
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
He will show you how
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
"Everybody bow"
And give yourself a pirate clap
Dance Dance!
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
He will show you how
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
I will show you now
Fold your arms in front of you, me hearties
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Start to hop, it's fun to do, whoo-hoo
(Ba-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da)
Climb the ropes, come on let's try it

He will show you how
Captain Feathersword, he loves to dance
I will show you now
Fold your arms in front of you, me hearties
