"Yo Ho Hero" lyrics
(with Steve Taylor)
(from "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie" soundtrack)
Raise the mast on the steadfast!
Swifter than a bareback sea horse
Sailing the uncharted sea course
Who could survive such a dangerous mission
Alongside pirates with zero ambition
We got the coconuts poured
We drop the hooks overboard
And if you get a little seasick
We play the Haddock for a Hat trick
We got the hammocks on the main deck
(Swingin' low)
We got the butler doin' the hen-peck
(Screamin' so)
He say we shoulda been swabbin' the poop deck
(We dunno)
It's what the other pirates do do
But we're bringin' you
Yo ho heroes
Standin' in the gap
Where'd you put the toys
Time to take a nap
Yo Ho heroes
Flighty as a bird
Easy is the word
Yo, I'm seein' no heroes
We're on a limbo craze
It's a relic from our limber days
Now we're stuck inside the Limbo-Zone
It's where the pirates go with too much time and a missing spine
Yo ho heroes
Standing in the gap
Where'd you put the map
Take another nap
Yo ho heroes
Strike a better pose
That's the way it goes
Yo, I'm seein' no heroes
We're on the Bad Mood Swing
We haven't done one thing
Not even a minimum daily requirement
We got the funk without the Parliament
And if you're feelin' a little seasick
(Rise and shine)
And if you wanna get off the guilt trip
(Now's the time)
Because the Captain of the Main Ship
(Rings the chime)
He could be comin' before you know Him
What are you gonna show Him
Go hero
Standing in the gap
Takin' up the slack
Followin' the King's Map
Go hero
Steady as a rock
I know it's a shock
Yo, there be a hero
Go hero
Standin' in the gap
Takin' up the slack
Followin' the King's Map
Go hero
Steady at the wheel
Keep an even keel
Yo, there be the King's hero
Swifter than a bareback sea horse
Sailing the uncharted sea course
Who could survive such a dangerous mission
Alongside pirates with zero ambition
We got the coconuts poured
We drop the hooks overboard
And if you get a little seasick
We play the Haddock for a Hat trick
We got the hammocks on the main deck
(Swingin' low)
We got the butler doin' the hen-peck
(Screamin' so)
He say we shoulda been swabbin' the poop deck
(We dunno)
It's what the other pirates do do
But we're bringin' you
Yo ho heroes
Standin' in the gap
Where'd you put the toys
Time to take a nap
Yo Ho heroes
Flighty as a bird
Easy is the word
Yo, I'm seein' no heroes
We're on a limbo craze
It's a relic from our limber days
Now we're stuck inside the Limbo-Zone
It's where the pirates go with too much time and a missing spine
Yo ho heroes
Standing in the gap
Where'd you put the map

Yo ho heroes
Strike a better pose
That's the way it goes
Yo, I'm seein' no heroes
We're on the Bad Mood Swing

I know it's a shock
Yo, there be a hero
Go hero
Standin' in the gap
Takin' up the slack
Followin' the King's Map
Go hero
Steady at the wheel
Keep an even keel
Yo, there be the King's hero
