Prologue Transcript

Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there, me hearties. I'm Captain Feathersword. And look. (pointing to the Big Red Car) It's the Big Red Car. (looking around) But where are The Wiggles? I wonder if they know the Big Red Car's here? Maybe they lost the Big Red Car! Maybe I should drive it and then they'll know the Big Red Car's safe. (laughs) What a great idea. (getting in the Big Red Car) Oh yes, indeed. What a good idea. Oh, yes. I love driving the Big Red Car. (puts seatbelt on) Oh yes, indeed. (turns the engine on but a sputtering noise is heard, singing in high-pitched voice) Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car. We'll travel near and we'll travel far. Toot, Toot, Chugga, Chugga, Big Red Car. We'll travel near and we'll travel far. (Sputtering noise is heard again) It doesn't seem to be working. (The spluttering noise continues, in normal voice) I mean, it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I can fix the Big Red Car for The Wiggles. That's a great idea. (taking seatbelt off and getting out from the Big Red Car) I'll fix the Big Red Car and they'll be so proud. (walking over to the back) Oh, yes. Captain Feathersword fixes the Big Red Car. What a great idea. (humming while fixing the Big Red Car) Come on, Big Red Car, go. Oh yes. Let's go, Big Red Car. (popping out) I think I've found the problem! (laughing and goes back fixing but he pops back out with soot all over face coughing) Maybe I should stick to fixing pirate ships. (laughs nervously.)

Lyrics

English

Captain Feathersword's sailing on the ocean waves (whoa-ho-ho!) The boat's getting rocked but the Captain's happy and brave (ho ho ho!) And from every wharf and pier You can hear everybody cheer Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy! (Ho ho ho!)

The wind it blew and the rain fell on the boat Oh, our friendly pirate ship is barely staying afloat And from every wharf and pier You can hear the crowd all cheer Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!

See Captain Feathersword he's scrubbing all the decks See him hoist the sail, and climb the mast (whoa look out!) Watch him dance, in his pirate pants "Wibbly, wobbly, whoa-ho-hey, now I'm going to dance all day"

Now the sun is shining and boat's back on its course Captain Feathersword says "it feels like I'm riding a horse" And from every wharf and pier You can hear the crowd all cheer Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!

Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!) Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy! (Ahoy there, me hearties)

Español (Vamos Captain Feathersword, Vamos!) (incomplete)

Captain Feathersword navega entre las olas del mar (¡Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)
El barco brinca, pero el capi es valiente y feliz (¡Gua-ja-ja-ja-ja-au!)
Y en el puerto y el malecón, todos de gritan así:
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Captain Feathersword, vamos (¡Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)

El aire sopla y la lluvia ya empezó (¡Caramba, hoo-hoo!)
Y nuestro barco amigo apenas puede flotar (¡Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay!)
Y en el puerto y el malecón, todos de gritan así:
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Captain Feathersword, vamos (¡Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)

Mira al capitán, cómo el barco, va a limpiar (¡Trapear!)
Ve él izar la velas y subir (¡Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)
Mira cómo baila en sus pants de pirata
¡Chaka, chaka, chaka, uno, dos, tres, todo el día, voy a bailar!

Ahora, brilla el sol, y a su curso, el barco volvió
El capi dijo: "Fue, como un caballo, montar, ja-ja-ja-ja
Y en el puerto y el malecón, todos de gritan así:
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Captain Feathersword, vamos (¡Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)

Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Capitán (¡Ahoy there!)
Vamos, Captain Feathersword, vamos
(¡Ahoy there, me hearties, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)

Trivia

• The song was filmed at the now-defunct Wonderland Sydney. The ship seen in the video was an attraction known as Toohey’s Tall Ship, which was used for live pirate shows. It was demolished in 2000 to make room for new attractions. In the background, a pirate ship ride called Bounty's Revenge can be seen in its inoperative mode. This ride was sold to Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia after Wonderland's closure and still operates there to this day.
• The original 1998 version opens with a freeze-framed shot of a Captain Feathersword flag just before the next shot where Greg starts singing.
• Sam Moran is one of the pirates in this song.
• The opening guitar riff has been used multiple times.
• This song appears in 6 episodes of Series 2, more than any other song.
