Song Lyrics[]
English[]
(Spoken intro):
Ben: Hey, me little mateys. (clicks his tongue) Do you reckon that Captain Feathersword knows about the birthday surprise party we're having for him?
Caterina: No, he still thinks we've forgotten his birthday.
Crew: We're playing a trick on the Captain!
(And now, the song!)
Women (with Clarky lip-syncing): We're playing a trick on the Captain
he thinks we've forgotten his birthday
Men (with the women lip-syncing): We're playing a trick on the Captain,
he thinks we've forgotten his birthday
We're playing a trick on the Captain
we're hiding the streamers away
We're playing a trick on the Captain
he thinks we've forgotten his birthday
We're playing a trick on the Captain
don't give the trick away
(Song ends. The crew waves hello.)
Español (Estamos Jugando Unga Broma Al Capitán)[]
Le estamos jugando un truco al capitán
Piensa que hemos olvidado su día
Estamos jugando un truco al capitán
Piensa que olvidamos su día
Estamos jugando un truco al capitán
Escondimos las serpentinas
Estamos jugando un truco al capitán
Piensa que olvidamos su día
Estamos jugando un truco al capitán
No digas el truco
