It's Important to be Proud of Who We Are!!!

Hello again,
This round is all about knowing who you are, and being proud of it.
I am writing out the lyrics to a favorite song of mine, that I found on a children's video. That video is a Jim Henson Video called "Muppet Sing Alongs - Muppet Treasure Island". This is also in a way a "tribute" to the great man himself. I am truly sad that he is no longer with us (same with Dr. Seuss for that matter).

I call it "The Female Pirate song". Here are the lyrics:

I'm a real pirate, from me boots up to me hat.
I'm a real pirate, hey me lads!
You got a problem with that?
I love adventure, that's the Life for me.
I'm a real pirate, and I love to sail the seas.
She loves to sail the sea
She loves to sail the sea

I can batten down the hatches.
I can hoist the flag.
Haul up the anchor.
and coil the rope without a snag.
Fight when fightin's needed,
and make the loudest noise
AAARRRGH!!! (3x)

If it's daring, I desire it
I'm a pirate!
Got it boys?

I'm a real pirate, from me boots up to me hat.
I'm a real pirate, hey me lads!
You got a problem with that?
I love adventure, that's the Life for me.
I'm a real pirate, and I love to sail the seas.
She loves to sail the sea
She loves to sail the sea

I can laugh with all me mateys.
Dance a merry gig.
Raise me glass of milk, and take a mighty mighty swig.
Lift me weight in booty.
It's gold my heart enjoys.

Well what about this cannon?
I can fire it! I'm a pirate!
Hear that boys?

I'm a real pirate, from me boots up to me hat.
I'm a real pirate, hey me lads!
You got a problem with that?
I love adventure, that's the Life for me.
I'm a real pirate, and I love to sail the seas.
She loves to sail the sea
She loves to sail the sea

When the mornin' sun is risin',
so slowly in the sky
Is it really so suprisin'
I wake up singin' AYE!

She's a real pirate, from me boots up to her hat.
She's a real pirate, hey me me gal
we got no problem with that.
She loves adventure,
that's the Life for me.
She's a real pirate, and she loves to sail the sea.
She loves to sail the sea
She loves to sail the sea

That's right, I love to sail the sea
I'm a real pirate, and I love to sail the sea.

Ends with conversation from Kermit
"Aw, hey that was great! You make a fantastic pirate."
"Why thank you Kermy. Gotta go! I'm late for my 3:30 Keel hauling."

As I like to be a FULL promoter of harmless trouble, Piracy can be fun if done without bad intentions. For example, What is "harmless trouble"? one might ask. It is trouble (so called) that does NOT harm anyone that you may decide to "include" (or yourself) in ANY way. Not physically, emotionally, or spiritually. That is VERY important!!!

How might someone like myself go about such things? Here's an example... I am an 'OFFICIAL BUTT INSPECTOR'. This is always an adventure that may offend the butt inspectee, if they are not willing to have their butt inspected. But it is nothing more than a quick-to-get-over offense, that does not harm anyone involved.

And on that note, I came across another song (on that same tape) that also "fits right in" with this topic.

I call it "Let The Good Shine Out"... Here it is:

All of us have good inside.
A longing to be kind and fair.
Some of us just let it hide, and act as if it weren't there.
Let me tell you friends a policy that I recommend.

Let the good shine out.
Shine for you and me.
If everybody let the good shine out,
how bright the world would be. Let the good shine out.
Join the jubilee.
If everybody let the good shine out,
we'd live in harmony.
(RED:) Oh... oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh... (red ends)

You will have a peaceful glow,
when you are nice to those you meet.
Feel so happy head to toe,
and sing a song of life so sweet.
I believe it's true.
When you give love,
it comes back to you.

Let the good shine out.
Shine for you and me.
If everybody let the good shine out,
how bright the world would be.
Let the good shine out.
Join the jubilee.
If everybody let the good shine out,
we'd live in harmony.
(RED:)Oh... oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh... (red ends)

(Purple:) Without my pistol and my sword,
I'm afraid I might get bored. (Purple ends)
(RED:)It feels so right,
to be so wrong. (red ends)
(Green:) We've been pirates for so long. (Green ends)
Now don't you worry,
don't you fret.
I can make you all forget.
That awful life,
you'll leave behind.
Think of all the treasure,
you will find if you just...

(Blue:) Let the good shine out.
Shine for you and me.
If everybody let the good shine out, (Blue pause)
how bright the world would be.
(Blue:) Let the good shine out.
Join the jubilee.
If everybody let the good shine out,
we'd live in harmony.
Let the good shine out. (2xs)
Shine for you and me. (2xs)
If everybody let the good shine out, (Blue pause)
how bright the world would be.
Ohhh...
(Blue:) Let the good shine out.
Shine for you and me.
If everybody let the good shine out,(Blue pause)
we'd live in harmony.
(Blue:) We'd live in harmony. (Blue end)
Let the good shine out.

P.S.
The words in red is one character, the words in purple is another, the words in green is a 3rd, and the words in blue are everyone together. I have done this for anyone who may actually want to sing it with others.

This is a WONDERFUL song for when you are feeling "blue-hearted", and to teach our children. For it is, of course, encouraging to think & behave in positive ways! And I have to say, it's good for EVERYONE!!! I myself sometimes will actually watch the video without the kids. That's right, I said it... lol
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now with all that said, I must be going. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did blogging it.
Thankz so much for coming to join in some fun here, and feel free to share this with everyone.

Until next time my darlingks...
WILD WICKED WISHES!!!
