Pirate Snail on Broccoli Island - Parry Gripp

Pirate snail on Broccoli Island

Up on the hill, see his flag is flying

Down on beach he’s assembled the crew

There’s Earwig Emily and Batty LaRue

Pirate snail sailing the seven seas

Boom!

go the cannons shooting jelly beans

First mate Rudy’s a potato bug

Down goes the root beer glug, glug, glug

Singing, «Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!»

Hoist the sails and away we go

Singing, «Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!»

Waving to the whales

Shouting, «There she blows!»

Hooray for the pirate snail!

The Pirate snail fighting the storm

The ship was heavy with candy corn

Emily slipped off of the mainsail line

Rudy caught her pincher just in the nick of time

Then dark clouds parted and the sun broke through

«Broccoli ho!», shouted Batty LaRue

Rudy grabbed the wheel and gave it a spin

Boom!

went the jelly bean cannons again!

Singing, «Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!»

Hoist up the sails and away we go

Singing, «Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!»

Waving to the whales

Shouting, «There she blows!»

Hooray for the pirate snail!

Rita The Roach giving the deck swab

Larval-stage Louie’s grilling up kebabs

Emily and Batty are out on the sand

Rudy’s in line at the snorkel stand

Pirate snail on the broccoli isle

Always trying his best to make his mama smile

Doesn’t bury his treasure ‘cause that’s no fun

Gonna share all the booty with everyone

Singing, «Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!»

Hoist up the sails and away we go

Singing, «Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!»

Waving to the whales

Shouting, «There she blows!»

Hooray for the pirate snail!

Hooray for the pirate snail!

Hooray for the pirate snail!
