Pirate Tommy: Captain Hook!
Pirate William: Nah, I'll say Blackbeard, he was a fierce pirate
Pirate Nicholas: What about Captain Donovan Dash?
Pirate A: Uhh. Yeah, mate, yeah! I don't know if he was the greatest,
but he was good
Pirate Jack: He was smart, that's for sure...
Pirate A: And brave...
Pirate N: We all agree: Captain Donovan Dash was a fine pirate.
Pirate Charles: Too bad he is dead.
Pirate A: Lads, let us drink a double measure of Rum to the memory
of Captain Donovan Dash.
(They are about to drink, Captain Donovan “steps into the light” (music) and they see his face.)
Captain Donovan Dash: May I have a sip of that rum?
ALL: Captain Donovan Dash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pirate N: Alive!
Pirate Sebastian: Alive!
Pirate A: Alive!
Pirate T: Aaaaaaaa….ghost!
DD: I'm not a ghost. But I was this close of becoming one..
Pirate A: Tell us captain…tell us your story!
DD: All right. It all began many years ago. Me and my old friend Captain Morgan Black went
hunting for the treasure on the isle of destiny.
Pirate S: The isle of Destiny!
Pirate N: They say it hides the biggest treasure ever!
Pirate S: But it is just a legend!
DD: It is not just a legend.
Pirate S: Captain, tell us more…
Pirate N: We want to know
Pirate A: Was there a treasure?
Pirate W: We need to know
DD: When we arrived to the island, we couldn’t find the treasure. It had been hidden by the natives, and they wouldn't tell us where it was. So Captain Black lost all patience . Since he wouldn't get a treasure he decided to capture all the inhabitants of the island to sell them as slaves.
I wouldn't go along with it, so Captain Black made me walk the plank!
So I walked the plank…
Captain Morgan thought me dead in the sea
But I swam and swam
Till I got to the island…
Or the island got me…
So there was I
I had been found, by the Isle of Destiny!
Pirate N: What about Black?
DD: And Captain Black , he would be back, to the Isle of Destiny!
He sold the slaves and with the money he bought letters of marquee
to become a corsair!

2. Road to hell

Morgan Black: You have to obey,
Bowing your head,
Down to the ground. (Lets go of Ratpie)
Ratpie: Yes, I have to obey,
Bowing my head,
Into the ground.
MB: Let them go on drinking their little tea…
Let them go on saving the world!
The road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
Of people who think they’re nice.
Emily: Ratpie!
RP: Coming!
Christian: Captain!
MB: Yes, sir…
I used to get rid
of people like these
With a little knife.
But I have come to learn
Richer I’ll be, playing their game.
MB&RP: The road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
Of people who want to give.
CH: I know there are people in this world
Who need my help
They live in ignorance. They don’t know the civilized world.
CH&E: I know there are people in this world
Who need my help
They live in ignorance.They don’t know the civilized world,
We will save them.
MB&RP: Yes, we will obey…Till it’s the time to lift our heads.
Till then, we will be here.
Shining you shoes, serving your tea.

3. A Fine Lady

Captain Donovan Dash:
I wonder will these old pirate eyes
See my homeland once again.
The rolling countryside,
The village pub
The river Thames,
A green park.
I wonder will these old pirate eyes
See my homeland once again.
The rolling countryside,
The village pub
The river Thames,
A green park.
And a fine lady drinking her tea,
And a fine lovely lady,
And a beautiful lady,
She’ll be gently sipping her tea…
I wonder will these old pirate eyes
See my homeland once again.
The rolling countryside,
The village pub
The river Thames,
A green park.
And a fine lady drinking her tea,
And a fine lovely lady,
And a beautiful lady,
She’ll be gently sipping her tea…her tea…her tea.

4. Tea Time

Emily: Tea Time, tea time,
Everything be set
The silverware, the crockery, the linen serviette.
It’s tea time, tea time
Cup and saucer, please
A teapot and a strainer and my favourite, Darjeeling.
I may stray far from home , but I never ever will forget…my!
Tea time, tea time
Heat the water, please
The temperature should be exactly 93 degrees
It’s tea time, tea time
We wait a little bit
To get a good infusion, we must always let it sit.
Emily & Christian: We may stray far from home, but we never ever
will forget…
E, CH&MB: Our spirit of adventure takes all around the world
It has conquered land and sea
And it will take us to the stars.
But we never will forget we’re English
If we drink our tea.
Tea time, tea time,
Now to nibble on
A crispy toast, a crumpet,
On a muffin or a scone
It’s tea time, tea time,
Delicious steaming hot
We serve it with great dignity,
And drink it with some pomp.
Tea time, tea time, we will always know
We all are very English
Whenever we drink our tea!

5. Am I in love?

Maimiti: The sound of water falling
The colours on a butterfly.
I never noticed that the wind
Was calling your name.
Christian: Daydreaming and talking to myself
When you are not with me I loose all interest.
M: The way I feel when I look at a sunset
And when the moon shining
I see your face in the stars.
M: Am I in love?
Is this what people feel?
Am I in love?
Is this what people feel?
When they feel they’re in love?
CH: Everything looks so different
Everything feels so new!
M&CH: Am I in love?
Is this what people feel?
Am I in love?
Is this what people feel?
When they feel they’re in love?
Everything looks so different
Everything feels so new…
Are we in love?
Is this what we should feel?
Are we in love?
I could spend
My whole life finding out
Is this love?

6. What have we done?

Christian: What has she done to deserve this destiny?
What made us think we had the right to interfere?
What kind of progress did we bring?
We broke her story.
Oh what, oh what, what have we done?
She teaches me the wonders of a natural life
She teaches me that paradise is all around
I need her more than she needs me…
Before I met Maimiti…
I thought there were people in this world who needed my help
And, I thought my culture was The Truth.
We thought there were people in this world who needed our help
And we thought that they all needed to meet the civilized world…
We’ve enslaved them…
Made them slaves.
